Love this! It's rare that faux fur is nice enough to look as lush as real. Especially when it comes to kids clothes - most faux stuff is obvious. But with this stole, everyone will want to touch it because they won't believe it's not real. It has that luxurious delicate look. Also I appreciate that the ivory is not dingy or yellowish. (The gray is not as convincing or pretty but pretty good. If you get the great, definitely liven it up with a sparkly brooch.)I really liked the starburst brooch and bought it separately at the tionbridal website- I contacted them and they shipped both my orders together for no additional cost on the brooch (they gave me a coupon code for free shipping before I ordered on their website). They also rushed the order to me because we need this for an event shortly and it arrived 2-3 days before estimate.This stole does have a hook on the ends, which is hidden once you hook it. The brooch will be used to make it fit a bit smaller. I ordered a medium for a 4yo and I see I probably could've ordered a small but this way we can use it for another few years.If you are comparing styles of cover-ups as I did (for a wedding in the snow), this will be the most beautiful by far. I looked at boleros, jackets, capelets, wraps, shrugs. I found the bolero and shrugs to be too close-fitting to the body and the curved areas on the chest to just not be right for kids. Those also look so utilitarian like having no aesthetic purpose but to keep the shoulders warm or covered for modesty. On the other hand, the jackets have sleeves and even the capelets sometimes do so they're much bulkier and need to be very nice to match how nice your dress is or they'll really detract from the outfit overall. My other problem with the above is that the closures often are very low quality like the ribbon you tie to close the bolero. You spend so much on the dress and all accessories to put a cheap ribbon tied in a large now front and center.This stole/wrap actually adds to the beauty of the dress and looks like part of the outfit, part of the presentation, not just slapped on top for utilitarian purposes.
