Optional Additions

Theodora is an evening glove in pure silk. This glove is cut slightly shorter than the classic 'opera' length in order to finish just above the elbow. It is a length which is designed to flatter the upper arm. It can also be worn ruched down for a less formal look. Smart, dressy and very versatile.

Dream gloves for my 15th birthday

The service was truly exclusive, attentive and personal from start to finish. Delivery was incredibly fast and went through without a single problem or delay. I’ll be wearing these gloves at my 15th birthday party in Brazil in April 2027, and I couldn’t be happier with them. The silk is beautiful, and the design is elegant, refined and in impeccable taste. Highly recommended!

Odile makes her grand debut.

My Theodora silk jersey opera gloves, the slinky black ones named Odile after the black swan in Swan Lake took their first grand entrance at the Sydney Opera House for the final performance of Opera Australia's Merry Widow. The gloves were greeted with the applause they deserved at a venue they deserved.

Highly disappointed

The opera length gloves did not meet my expectations as they hit just above my elbow and slide down to the elbow crease. There is no way to keep the gloves pulled up to the appropriate height. Even if I use a lot of double sided tape they pull and look ridiculous. I followed, exactly, how to measure. In fact, customer service reached out because they thought that I may have measured my forefinger incorrectly. I remeasured and confirmed that my measurement is correct. In their defense, the hands of the gloves are perfect. Unfortunately, I cannot wear the gloves for my daughter's wedding in Ocotber––a lot of money wasted. I did not communicate with Cornelia James because I understood that the gloves cannot be returned so it would be dishonorable to ask for a refund.

Exquisite silk gloves

The gloves are exquisite, thank you! They fit tightly at the elbow enabling them to move around without the gloves moving. They got there just in time as well, thankfully! All went well.
