yes will be someting like that.Good advice. i would go for the pencil sklrt. Paired with some heels, you will still be showing off those shapely calves and ankles!
I recently fell for a 30s fur cape at an antiques fair. it's white but I'm not sure what sort of fur it is. It's very soft and quite long hairs in a bright ivory white. Any ideas what it could be?
I know there is a very fervent debate out there about whether vintage fur is OK or not and to be honest, I'm not a confrontational person and would hate to have to enter into heated debates with strangers... but I really want to wear it to a friend's wedding in a couple of weeks. Any thoughts ladies? How do you deal with wearing vintage fur at events like weddings?
I just made a post on another thread on the same subject, I think it's "1930's Animal Slaughter", or something like that.
I just bought my girlfriend a gorgeous vintage (ca 1940) fox cape, half length, for Christmas (it's in the closet at the moment) and I'm getting second thoughts about it. I just found a horrifying web site showing the killing of raccoon dogs in China for fur. I won't go into it, but it's despicable.
I feel like vintage fur is more or less OK, but then once in a while I get a pang of conscience. I think using leather is all right because most (not all!) cattle are slaughtered in a relatively humane way, and every part is used. I have a problem with pigs, because they're so smart. Churchill loved to repeat the old adage that dogs look up to humans, cats look down on humans, but pigs look at humans as equals. Plus their living conditions are pretty grim as well. So I don't eat pork or use pig products.
Beavers are drowned in the standard traps used for them.
It's a tough issue. I think psychologically, when people kill animals regularly, for a living, they inure themselves to it as a self protection. If you let yourself think about the moral implications, you'd start losing sleep. The result is complete callousness, which can sometimes lead to wanton cruelty. A paradox.
