    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yes. Just flip the paper over.
  • Question
