I will look at my copy of that, you do mean the Eunis Close book in the Batsford series, yes?
Chiara Francesca -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Suzi Clarke Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 11:08 AM To: Historical Costume 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.
