The Classic Forties Chubby Fur
It's what every woman wants. The wear-with-everything chubby fur jacket. It was the most popular fur fashion trend of the 1940s.
A beautiful silver-dyed imported fox from the Chicago Mail Order Company. You could purchase it for $49.95 cash or buy it on credit. It also included a matching fur strip, to trim your own hat!
Two more from the Chicago Mail Order catalog. On the left a silky, fluffy Guanaco fur. A rich, mink-dyed Coney fur on the right. These jackets easily go from daytime to evening with a simple change of accessories.
Monolithic Studios' director Ivy Jordan wears a Donna Salyers' Fabulous Furs coat originally designed for Barbara Millicent Roberts aka Barbie. The faux fur coat was altered exclusively for Miss Jordan. Hat, skirt, corsage, jewels, and styling are from The Couture Touch. Gloves are from Ashton Drake. Color Deal Ivy Jordan is from Integrity.

Genius. From a 1:6th doll to a 1:4th doll and it looks marvelous. Great job.
