These are such elegant gloves! Lace insets decrease to a lace hand and partial thumb - perfect for showing off your lovely rings and fingers when out and about.

This classic length opera glove can be re-purposed from evening dress to day-wear with a pretty cap sleeved blouse or camisole top and shrug.

Should you have really really delicate arms, it’s relatively easy to adapt the pattern to accomodate. Otherwise, this will fit most ladies arms (we tried it out on a wide cross-section of womanhood!).
