This is an online collection of some stupendous examples of historical gloves. It’s a bit of a pig because it’s picture-heavy, but the gloves are worth waiting for. There are knitted ones and there are leather ones, embroidered ones and just plain beautiful ones. They’re dated, so it’s a good research source for you historical writers.

I’m Deborah and I love writing romance novels that blend emotion, humor, and happily-every-after. I’ve been publishing my stories since 1992 and have written as Claire Delacroix (historical and fantasy romance), Claire Cross (time travel romance and romantic comedy) and myself (paranormal romance and contemporary romance). My goal is to keep you turning the pages, no matter which sub-genre you prefer.

Ohhh I’ve already spent loads of time there today…
Gorgeous, and how sexy were those Edwardian mousquetaires with the opening unbuttoned just over a lady’s pulse point?

I haven’t gotten to those yet, Diana. That site is a seductive little timesink, isn’t it?

Oh that is a dangerous site indeed. Every glove I looked at my brain tried to figure out who wore them and what they were like. Before I knew it I had daydreamed away a couple hours. LOL.
The detailing on some of them were just breathtaking.

Wow – cool site! Thanks for the link – I’ll go drool some more when I have time. It may show up as a future link of the day on my blog – with creds to you 🙂
