Gloves satin black 48 cm

The 48 cm black satin gloves are long finger gloves made of black satin, with a smooth, shiny hand and loose folds along the forearm. Wear them at a 1920s party with a flapper dress, or for a costume party and at the Sinterklaas parade as part of a Pete costume. They are designed for both women and men.

How long are these satin gloves and what fabric are they made of?

• Each glove is 48 cm long, so it extends well past the wrist and down the forearm.
• The material is satin, in solid black without any print or embellishment.
• Along the forearm, the satin falls in loose folds, while the hand and fingers remain smooth and shiny.
• Each finger is individually crafted, so they are full-finger gloves rather than fingerless ones.
• The style is designed for both women and men.

Long satin gloves in the flapper era

Long evening gloves, also known as opera gloves, were part of the flapper's evening fashion in the 1920s. They were worn with sleeveless dresses so that the bare arm remained largely covered by shiny fabric. Gloves are also part of the Sinterklaas Pete costume, as they keep the hands the same color as the suit. A length of 48 cm makes a difference compared to a short wrist glove: the fabric extends well down the forearm, allowing it to match a short sleeve or a bare arm.

How to make the flapper look recognizable with black satin gloves

A flapper look is recognizable by a straight, sleeveless dress with fringe or beads, a headband with a feather, and a long pearl necklace worn over the gloves. Feel free to wear a bracelet over the satin, as was customary with evening fashion at the time. For a Pete costume, choose the black evening gloves with a suit with puff sleeves, so that no skin remains visible between the sleeve and the hand. For someone wearing a dark 1920s suit, the satin is best combined simply with a bow and a hat.
