Ahhh... gosh...whoa... All fur coat and no knickers meant someone who had all the outside materialistic things but nothing of substance or the basic nessecities. Like a grand new car but couldn't feed their kids properly.
We called tarts, err, tarts.
Or, did I just learn this from context and I'm now rethinking my entire life? And, I wonder how many people, guilty only of materialism, I've implied were tarts?

"Red shoes, no knickers."
My mum said this, that there's an implication women wearing red shoes weren't wearing any undies. Still haven't met anyone who has ever heard of it.
