    Go for it! Wedding gloves offer a very classic and regal element. Just make sure you have multiple pairs at your disposal—no one wants to have dingy gloves in their photographs and you'll want to switch out for your photos.

    How do you color the glove? I want to make 3-colored gloves but I don't know how to.

  • Question
    How do you tighten the glove around the wrist/forearm area if it's too loose?

    If you have not sewn it yet, clip back the area that you want to reduce. If you have sewn it, you can create darts (fold over the fabric) to make the area smaller.

    In the drafting stage (paper), clip down the ends of the fingers for them to be shorter.

  • Question
    Should I take the exact measurements or make the fingers of the paper pattern wider than the actual fingers?

    When making the gloves, make sure to cut them out a few mm bigger than your hand, because when you sew, you'll need to sew about five mm from the edge to keep the gloves intact.
