Is it HA for women in the winter as well as men to have a fur accessory?
I purchased mink (yes face and all), :'( tis dark, , 4 pelts together that is a shoulder piece..wraps around.
I am searching for a muff, but the shoulder unsure..
Bella at Realm of venus has made an amazing fur muff after a 16th century picture:

As for fur over the shoulders, I'm really not sure. I know some ladies could put their marten over one shoulder, but I don't think I've seen it all around the shoulders. I have however seen fur-lined short cloaks, like here:
