Style Options

Toddlers in ball gowns for children's mornings look charming. A miniature handbag, jewelry and gloves will complete the look. You can buy ready-made gloves or sew them yourself. Here are a few options for styles:

• Mitts. This is one of the simplest, most popular and convenient styles. The fingers remain open. The back of the hand and arm are closed to the elbow or middle of the forearm. An option is also possible above the elbow, but it is not entirely convenient, especially for a small fashionista. The product is held due to the eyelet for the middle finger.

Important! The main advantage of mitts is their versatility. They look great with a chic ball gown and a more modest casual dress.

• Fingers with fully closed fingers. Their length, as in the case of mitts, can be different. You can choose a model to the elbow or a shortened version.

Materials of manufacture

The most common fabric options, if you need to sew gloves for a girl to dress, are:

• Guipure.
• Lycra.
• Chiffon.
• Brocade.

Naturally, each of the materials has its own characteristics:

• It is most convenient to wear products made of elastic materials, such as lycra. Such gloves fit the hand, like a second skin, fit the hand, so they are very comfortable.

Important! Despite the fact that lycra is an artificial material, it is breathable. Therefore, the girl will feel great, and accessories will not cause her discomfort.

• Inelastic fabrics, such as, for example, brocade, may be beautiful, but they will bring a lot of inconvenience to the young fashionista. In order for the accessory to hold well on your hand, you need to insert elastic bands. The interval between the elastic bands is about 5 cm.

Important! The difficulty is that you need to pick them up so that the product does not slip off your hand and, at the same time, does not squeeze it.

• Currently, you can find on sale chiffon, brocade or guipure with elastic thread. It is these fabrics that need to be used for sewing.

Decoration methods

You can decorate children's gloves in various ways. The most common and win-win option is decorative buttons made of artificial pearls sewn in a row. You can use rhinestones, lace, satin bows.

Important! We must not forget that the decoration of the dress and gloves should be in harmony with each other. If, for example, you made a dress of rubber gloves with your own hands, then you need to choose the appropriate accessories.

How to combine gloves with a dress?

This raises a lot of questions. Is it obligatory for the accessory to be in the same tonal range with the dress? Or is contrast possible? Are the lengths of gloves and dresses interconnected? Is it necessary that the texture of the materials match?

Here are some things to keep in mind:

• There is one rule: a dress with a short sleeve is appropriate with long accessories. For clothing with flashlight sleeves, items to the wrists or the middle of the forearm are appropriate.
• If the texture of the dress and accessories matches, then such an ensemble looks especially elegant. But this is not at all necessary. Modern fashion is very democratic, too strict rules in it are few.
• Another interesting option is the use of gloves as a color accent. In this case, you need to maintain the color with some other accessory. It can be a handbag, belt or shoes.

Important! The main thing is to observe the measure. In one image there should be no more than 3 colors, otherwise - sliding into the cutting eye of motley is as easy as shelling pears.
