About MeFurriers and dressmakers used fur to great effect, creating texture and designs by exploiting the fur's natural pattern or by cutting and shaping the fur and combining it with other materials. Here silky, ruched velvet has been teamed with incredibly soft, cream rabbit fur, which has been cut in a stepped fashion following the scalloped lines of the cape to create a stunning evening garment.
