Gloves might primarily be worn for keeping your hands cosy, but they also add a glamorous allure, especially when it comes to vintage inspired opera length gloves.
This year we redesigned our black satin gloves making them a true opera length: the same length as our best selling sheer version.
A couple of years ago we had a fabulous surprise when none other than Dame Joan Collins wore our Long Sheer Gloves in the New Year edition of You Magazine. She wears hers ruched down a little making them more suitable for daywear and perfect for wearing with 1950s bracelet-length sleeved jackets.
Earlier this year I customized a pair of our Long Sheer Gloves adding fringing. This was incredibly easy to do as the side seams have very little stretch (the most difficult part was unpicking the seam). I used a zigzag stitch along the seam but if you don't have a sewing machine could hand stitch.
Don't keep just to fringing though. You could add a row of buttons or rhinestones to match your party outfit.
