Plus Size Fur Jackets and Fur Coats - Sexy Looks for Larger Ladies

In a world where fashion magazines are full of anorexic fashion models that look like they would topple over if you blew on them, larger ladies often don't get the respect and admiration for their own true beauty. Just because a woman is larger in size doesn't mean she's not as hot, beautiful and sexy. The fashion industry need to take notice of the larger woman's own unique beauty. More options need to be available so that plus size ladies who also have buying power can adorn themselves in all the queenly fashions they too deserve. Fortunately one segment of the fashion industry knows how to make a plus size women feel as wonderful as she so rightly deserves to and that's the fur industry. Let's face it, most plus size women are sensual. They relish sensual pleasures be that fine food, music, art, scents or fine materials such as cashmere, silk or real fur. A plus size woman understands that nothing is going to be as luxuriously soft, creamy and warm as a fur coat against her skin or the skin of her significant other. Plus size women also love how forgiving a fur coat is to her figure, which may not be considered perfect by societal standards. Wrapped up in a full length mink coat, it's hard to tell if a woman is a size 8 or a size 18. Many smaller size women buy their fur coats one to two sizes larger anyway so they can add layers underneath when needed. Also when worn over a formal gown you never want your fur to be too snug. Full length fur coats are stunning on plus size ladies, but another great choice is the real fur swing coat. The swing coat was initially designed in the 1940's to cover the full skirts that were in fashion. However the swing coat has become a classic style due to its' graceful fluidity. The coat starts out more fitted at the shoulders and bodice then increasingly moves outward with extra volume that makes the coat "swing." A very sexy look that is popular right now is to wear a fur cape or fur shawl just as you would a fur jacket. The fur cape normally falls in the back to the waist or the center of ones' back and the front of the fur cape will fall to the waist or just below. Fur capes and fur shawls look just as fabulous with a turtleneck, jeans and boots as they do with an evening gown and high heels. Add a wide belt around the waist over the cape for a high fashion look. Ponchos made a huge come back a few years ago and fur ponchos look divine of plus size ladies. A fur poncho is so easy to fit because they're basically one size fits all. Wearing a fur poncho is like enveloping yourself in decadent fur blanket, pure coziness. Fur ponchos can easily be dressed up or down. Wear them for a walk in the park or out for a special evening. One thing is for sure, heads will turn because you will look as fabulous as you feel.

Fox Fur Coats Made of Halfskins: A Cheap Fur Type But Not A Bad Investment

Fox fur coats can be made of fullskins, halfskins or sections. Halfskin coats can be an economic alternative for those who do not want to spend a fortune while at the same time they do want a high quality, warm and elegant fur garment.

Halfskin fox coats are made of the pelt part that is left, after the dorsal area has been cut out. The latter is used to make fullskin coats. The abdominal area, rear and front legs are sawn in a unique pattern to create a halfskin fox coat. A ready to wear garment will consist of a flat haired area at the top part. The middle part of the coat will consist of a fluffier area and finally the lower part will consist of fluffy and flat triangular areas.
The whole technique results in a product with special attributes:

Less weight and bulk since the abdominal area is not as dense as the dorsal area.

Low cost. Halfskin coats cost four to five times less than a fullskin fox fur coat.

Uniqueness. This technique is well known by furriers in Greece while it is relatively unknown in other parts of the world.

Elegant and fashionable. Modern designers are turning towards sharper shapes. Bulky fox coats, in this case are not very helpful. On the contrary, halfskin fox fur coats are ideal candidates.

Milder climatic conditions. If you want to wear a fox coat during warmer months, then halfskins are ideal for you.

Endurance. Their lifespan is equal to the lifespan of fullskin coats. They will not shed or rip more than a fullskin coat would.

Smooth look. Despite the fact they are not made of fullskins, the technique and craftmanship result in an even and uniform look.

Ecology. The halfskins technique, is using a part of the pelt that otherwise would have been thrown away. Nothing goes waisted.Of course there are some issues that have to be taken into account before buying one:

Availability: Since they are made mainly in Greece, most buyers will have to buy them online and pay the international shipping costs.

Length limitations: the technique that is used to make them, limits the maximum length to 40-42 inches. It is possible to find longer versions, but the final look will be compromised.

Warmth: Fox coats made of halfskins are warm and have a high insulation index. However, a fullskin coat will be more effective in extremely low temperatures.

Dimitrios Zagkountinos is a third generation furrier.
