Short gloves and elbow length gloves are for Church or a semi-formal daytime event. The high opera gloves are for evening dress or a wedding gown.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-21183558526895017172007-04-29T05:37:00.000-04:002007-04-29T05:37:00.000-04:00I lived in Sicily for four beautiful years and I'v...I lived in Sicily for four beautiful years and I've missed it ever since. <BR/><BR/>I love gloves!!

The last time I wore gloves for a social event was my wedding day. After that I threw the custom aside as an inconvenient formality, but alas, so many of my generation disposed of those inconvenient formalities that made life more genteel. We are now paying the price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-45437352178767875412007-04-28T10:25:00.000-04:002007-04-28T10:25:00.000-04:00I love Mediterranean culture.I love Mediterranean culture.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-54563163922669809662007-04-28T09:55:00.000-04:002007-04-28T09:55:00.000-04:00I was there twice in the past two years and they a...I was there twice in the past two years and they are still very elegant and feminine. The people take long walks in the evening dressed in their Sunday best even on weekdays. It's almost a national pastime, as it is here in Italy. <BR/>I once had American friends visiting me and they were amazed that families were taking leisurly walks at sunset, instead of sitting home, watching tv or surfing the net. It's a good way to live, really. Of course we have the same stressful lives as people in all western countries, but in Europe it's very important to enjoy these little moments of respite as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-33170301382898577292007-04-27T17:55:00.000-04:002007-04-27T17:55:00.000-04:00I was last in Spain many years ago but I found the...I was last in Spain many years ago but I found the Spanish ladies to be elegant and beautifully dressed, for the most part.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-5783967925806695802007-04-27T17:49:00.000-04:002007-04-27T17:49:00.000-04:00Gloves are used very much in Spain even now.

The gloves are removed when they demonstrate the safety routine and then they don them again at landing. It is very elegant and feminine. <BR/><BR/>oh, and I absolutely agree.
