Take me to the ball!

I love to imagine how many ritzy occasions these kid gloves must have attended. Though they look a little worse for wear now, they still retain their old-world charm. Like a lot of vintage gloves they are just too small for the modern hand, so unfortunately they won’t be going out much any more. I just adore the pearl button closure at the wrist and the teeny tiny handstitiched buttonhole. Charming!!
I read that leather glove-making is becoming a dying art, because ladies don’t wear them anymore. these will be really valuable.
and i thought it was just me that my fingers were podgy but it turns out our hands are bigger then they used to be? obese hands… what a thought.
