We've taken the classic long evening glove and made it just a little shorter to finish just above the elbow - a cut which is the perfect length to flatter the upper arm and perfect with a dress that has anything of a sleeve. Made in our classic Duchess satin.
Elbow Length. This is a 12 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Our Duchess Satin is a medium weight satin which brims with confidence. It has the glimmer of a fabric which knows how to capture moonbeams. It holds the promise, the allure of enchanted evenings and is guaranteed to unlock the mysteries of romance. We promise. And with just a touch of stretch for added comfort and wearability.
If you'd like to see a swatch of this material in this colour before you decide, you can order one here.
Satin is a surface. It doesn’t just clothe — it reflects, glides, and catches light with grace. But that sheen is also its vulnerability. Satin doesn’t take well to stress. It doesn’t like twisting, cramming or high heat. What it wants is space, softness, and time.
Handle it like you would something already perfect — because in its best state, it is.
Let It Glide
Always turn satin inside out before washing, and use a mesh delicates bag. Keep the cycle short and slow. After the wash, lay the gloves flat and reshape while damp. If pulls appear, don’t panic — they often respond to a light scratch from the reverse side to reset the weave.
Care Method
Wash cold on a gentle cycle with gloves inside out in a mesh bag. Lay flat to dry. Gently realign fibres from the reverse if any pulls occur. Do not tumble dry or press directly.
For Shape and Surface Clarity
For gloves with sheen loss, persistent creases or decorative trims, we recommend a professional who works with eveningwear textiles to restore both polish and structure.
Handmade in Sussex, England

Ordered samples and got them in 3 days. When I ordered the gloves, I was refunded the cost of samples and shipping. Received the custom gloves in three days as well.

Just wow! May 2026 bride here and these gloves.. well.. fit like a glove! They were high quality & you can tell were hand crafted. The measurement system was easy to understand for the custom made gloves I ordered. Keep in mind your wrist size. Although you have to be able to bend, i would hedge a few centimeters and if between sizes actually round down in the wrist depending on what you are looking for. Theu have a great structured stretch which is versatile. Mine were perfect! Thank you Cornelia James for making me feel like a princess on one of the most special days of life. Worth every penny, y’all!

Amazing Gloves!
I love my gloves! They are of high quality and were packaged with care. I inquired about sizing due to my petite arms and Daniela of the Cornelia James team couldn't have been more helpful and gracious. I was so pleased to find that the gloves fit perfectly once they arrived. I paid extra for rush shipping and the gloves came plenty of days in advance.

Perfect finishing touch for the bride.
Beautiful, well made custom taylored gloves. The ivory color coordinated so well with my daughter's silk wedding dress. Perfectly taylored fit and pleased with how well the ring window works.
