I wasn’t sure if this concept would work until I actually finished the first glove. It was so exciting to see the glove on my hand exactly as I had envisioned it. Friends that I showed it to said that it looked like a Victorian wedding glove and since my daughter is a huge Jane Austen fan I went to her to find the perfect name. If the ruffle is made smaller or if you replace it with a picot edge, these become sexy little gauntlets. Try them in black with red buttons. Have fun with them!
