Hi Suzi
I got a wonderfull book this summer in Rome with prints from Morreau le
Jeunne and Freiberg. It is old prints about the fashion. In manny of the
prints, ladies are wearing gloves.
Also i can tell that the german reenactor ladies i visited this september
used gloves in the evening at the danse soiré, i know this is no proof, but
i know these ladies are very pickky about authentity..so.........

Subject: [h-cost] Gloves in the 18th century
When asked by a customer I was unable to answer her question, in spite of
having looked at various fashion plates of the late 18th century (1770's).
The one book I don't have in the Batsford series of
"Gloves/Shawls/Shoes/Bags" is of course gloves. Can anyone tell me if
ladies wore gloves when dancing - we are talking high status, without
being at court. If you have written or text proof I would really
appreciate a pointer in that direction, as the fashion plates are not
really helpful. They show them being worn with court dress and with full
dress, but I cannot find anything that says "Ball dress!)
Thanks for any help.
Suzi
