| Description: | Light green (mint/sage) evening gloves. They have an elastic scrunched arm covering and a stitched fold on the hand portion of the glove. The gloves are fairly long and would go past the wrist and up the forearm. |
| History of Use: | Evening gloves were worn elbow-length or shorter mid-arm length in satin or nylon, of course matching the dress. Big sparkly bracelets were often worn over the top. Evening gloves dyed to match a formal dress were ideal for long gloves. Alternatives were sheer net or short lace gloves in a harmonizing color. |
