I am making a Regency evening gown for a friend. It consists of a black
lace overdress with a slate blue lining. I'm uncertain as to what color
gloves should be worn with this color ensemble/ I think white gloves
against the black and slate blue would look garish, and black gloves
would look to
One sees funky-looking colors of gloves in plates.Of course white kid gloves
tend not to be startlingly white, but they are also very expensive and hard to
clean. So maybe go with a cream, or maybe a grayish-blue?

Grey gloves were fairly popular in the Regency era and wouldn't look too
'matchy-matchy'. Grey, being a neutral, would also be wearable with other colours.
