We love velvet. It is gloriously indulgent. But, above all, velvet -especially black velvet - looks great against satin. If your dress is a dream in satin, go with velvet for your gloves - they will make the perfect counterpoint. Long evening gloves in a velvet that is almost as black as sin.

I just wore these velvet gloves to my daughters wedding and I cannot say enough just how many people said how stunning I looked with these full arm gloves on with my black sleeveless gown and black mink wrap in the winter weather for her outside wedding. They said i looked like I looked like a star straight from the fifties era of Hollywood and I loved the comparison!!! Stunning to say the least. Top of the line look and worth every penny!!! If you are debating getting these in any way, get them. You will never regret this purchase ♥️♥️♥️

Classic and Amazing Opera Gloves

I needed these gloves for a black-tie event and I ordered them last minute. They arrived quickly and were even better than I had thought they could be. The design was lovely, the fit was perfect, and they made my entire look complete.

Special and elegant!

We may have ordered the black gloves, but rest assured this was a white glove service purchase in ALL respects. The emails, the hand-written follow-up note, the speed of the delivery, and of course the elegant, well-fitted gloves themselves and the darling glove box are beautiful and beyond expectation. If your attire requires the extra touch of opera gloves, buy these. Do NOT be fooled by cheap polyester, uncomfortable, sweaty, lumpy imitations. You'll never wear those. Cornelia James gloves are gloves to treasure for a lifetime.

Poor customer service for a nice product

The gloves are excellent quality, the customer service is extremely poor. I ordered gloves on August 6th and paid for one day shipping. They arrived on August 11th, after the event for which I had ordered them. I contacted customer service, asking only for the cost between expedited and regular shipping to be refunded. I was promptly refused, and my follow up emails (including screenshots from their website stating that the gloves should have arrived within two days to my location) were entirely ignored. I hope that extra few dollars they kept for shipping was worth losing a repeat customer.

It is perfectly fitting width wise. I would just wished they were longer, it would add more drama. The material is exceptional.
