Dress Gloves: Introduction

Even though gloves are not as common as veils and headpieces, they are still a great way to add refinement to your look. There are a variety of options, from wrist length gloves that cover just your hands to opera length gloves that reach above your elbows. You can also choose from a number of fabrics that provide different looks, from classic satin to romantic lace or sexy sheer. Gloves are also a great way to add some color to your look by opting away from traditional white, and choosing a color that coordinates with the look of your wedding. The standard glove lengths are explained in this chapter, as well as suggestions as to which length is best suited for which type of dress.
