Re: [h-cost] Gloves in the 18th century
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.

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.
