Gloves are usually made from a solid fabric or are crocheted. Crocheted gloves are generally preferred. Glove material should be chosen to complement, not overwhelm your dress. Unlike hosiery, gloves with vertical patterns, usually do not slim arms. Gloves are either long or wrist high.
Gloves never go with long sleeve gowns.
Pick fancier gloves for simple dresses and more plain ones for fancy gowns. With so many ways to go wrong with gloves, it is always easier to pick a dress with long sleeves and not have to worry about gloves at all.
