Questions about this piece
How long should a coat be over a dress?
Either clearly longer than the dress or clearly shorter, with nothing in between. A coat hem that lands within an inch or two of the dress underneath reads like a mistake, because the eye catches two near-identical lines and tries to reconcile them. A midi coat like this one solves most of that by being long: it covers a knee-length dress outright, and over a maxi it leaves a deliberate band of skirt showing below the hem rather than a sliver.
Does faux fur shed?
New faux fur sheds a little, and that is not a sign of a bad coat. Cut pile always holds a few fibers that were never anchored, and wear is what shakes them loose. Give it a shake over a bathtub before the first outing and again every so often, and the shedding tails off once those loose ends are out. What to avoid is pulling at the pile or rubbing it dry with a towel, which breaks fibers that were holding fine. This coat's pile is polyester, which stands up to handling better than a soft acrylic.
What is the inside of this coat like?
It is lined in a horse print that coordinates with the outside, which is a detail almost nobody but you will see. It shows in the moments the coat is open, though: pushing a sleeve back, hanging it over a chair at dinner, handing it across at a coat check. On the outside it is plush faux fur, 100% polyester, in Brown or Beige, and it runs XS, S, M and L.
