Our company had a "Roaring 20s" themed party, and I bought these black opera gloves to go with my black flapper dress.  I'm short (5'2") and have the short limbs to go with it.  The gloves reached a little more than halfway up my upper arms, and the fingers fit well.

The fabric (true black) is stretchy, and it didn't stretch out from wearing them.  In fact, I wore them a couple of weeks later for another costume party, and they still looked great.
