Arabella | Tulle Opera Glove – Ivory
There are times when satin or silk is too formal, too stiff. On these occasions, Arabella is the glove for you. The tulle fabric, from which it is made, is soft, stylish and décontractée. It makes for a happy combination with almost all dress textures. Perfect for summer parties and perfect for summer weddings. These can be made completely plain or with the traditional mousquetaire button opening on the inside of the wrist as an extra option. This allows the hand to be removed from the glove whilst leaving the sleeve of the glove in the arm.
Opera Length. This is a 16 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Tulle derives its name from the city of Tulle, France, where it was first manufactured in the 18th Century. Our tulle comes from Italy, and remains one of the most romantic glove materials out there. Tulle is wonderfully light and intricately netted, which gives it a sense of both daintiness and allure.
If you'd like to see a swatch of this material in this colour before you decide, you can order one here.
Tulle has presence without weight — a veil of elegance that floats rather than fits. It’s delicate, yes, but not as fragile as it looks. What it needs most is stillness: low agitation, soft water, space to dry. Treated properly, it holds its shape beautifully and keeps its lightness.
There’s no need for drama. Tulle just wants calm.
Let It Float
Wash inside a delicates bag and give it room. Don’t cram it in with heavy fabrics or aggressive spin cycles. Once clean, lay flat to dry and smooth out any folds or embellishments while still damp. You’re guiding, not forcing.
Care Method
Place in a mesh laundry bag and wash on a cold, delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry on a towel. Gently reshape by hand. Never twist, wring or expose to heat.
If Volume or Detail Is Compromised
For layered tulle or gloves with decorative accents, a textile specialist familiar with bridalwear or evening materials can restore shape and finish with precision.

Gorgeous and incredible quality
I first ordered colour swatches which was very simple to do. I love that the price comes off your final order! After choosing my colour I took my measurements and ordered my clothes. They came relatively quickly considering they’re made to measure and they fit perfectly. I got a ring window as they’re more my wedding and it’s exactly what I was hoping for. I won’t need to awkwardly take off a whole glove during my ceremony! I’m thrilled with them. They’re very high quality and make me want to wear gloves on a daily basis.

Arabella is completing my Art Deco wedding look
These gloves complete my wedding look. I love that my rings fit over them, showcasing my engagement ring (and soon, my wedding band). They feel so elegant and posh, letting my dress' beading and pattern be the star. I absolutely could not be happier!

Beautiful apart from seams on top of fingers
The gloves are high quality and good fit, I wish there were more pictures being worn. The fingers have visible seams on the top of the hands which looks a little busy. My rings fit over the gloves, it’s a little snug but it works.

Arabella is gorgeous. It fit like a glove - pun intended. Honestly, sizing was perfect, the product is high quality, soft, beautiful, sits just right in my arms. It also arrived much sooner than I expected for a handmade item. I can’t wait to wear them with my dress on my big day! I’ll be coming back for more!

Perfect fitting
Beautiful gloves, the tulle is the perfect balance of sheer and opaque for a modern bridal glove. I am wearing a strapless wedding gown but am sometimes insecure about my arms, but these gloves are slimming on the arms while still adding elegance to the overall look. Additionally - the tulle is thin over to put your engagement ring over, so less to worry about when exchanging rings.
