Don't normally pick up furs, but this one was really pretty and looks quite glam with this dress. I was thinking it was mink. Can someone please confirm? And if so, what type of mink? Also, would you date dress as 60s? It's moire and has a back metal zipper and pinked seams. Thanks a bunch!

Can you post a pic of the dress without the stole? Also need a closeup of the stole. It looks 50s and mink.

Just beautiful. Very regal and Miss America.
 
I had a very similar stole to this (big fur button, etc), however mine
was rabbit and the fur on this looks shorter and plusher....so I would say
mink too.

Yes, please, let us see the whole dress, looks fabulous!

Okie, dokie. Here's more pix of the dress and a close up of stole. Is there a name for this shade of fur? Also, do these sell well?

YES!!! Fur is selling well. Just went over to try to find something and couldn't believe it.

It is mink. I think you would call it a blonde or champagne mink.

The dress is beautiful and I would say 60s.
 
Agreed on the mink - it looks the right texture to be that kind of fur, rabbit is softer and apt to clump a bit with age. Gorgeous ensemble, and definately got the whole feminine glamour thing going for it that is ruling the runways this fall. :)
