This is a late review because I never wore these gloves for more than a few minutes until two weeks ago. I attended a wedding at a Country Club in Houston. The weather was so hot outside that I knew I may have problems with my hands inside because of air conditioning. I was wearing a formal dress with black lace appliqus, a black lace shrug and black lace hose. I bought another pair of black lace gloves, forgetting that I had these ones tucked into my purse pocket. On the day of the wedding, I had bandaids on my hands and because of that the lace gloves that I had purchased recently would not fit comfortably on my hands. They were so snug that I could not put them on. Luckily, I remembered about these. They have a lot more stretch than most lace gloves. I also like the fact that they are a little longer than most short gloves and have little grippers on the palm side. I received many compliments and people didn't know I was trying to cover up bandages on my fingers.
