I am looking for an internet site that sells CHILDREN'S size (ages 4-7 or the equivalent) LONG (elbow-length or just below) LIGHTWEIGHT (satin or cotton) gloves, like a flower-girl would wear, but in a DARK COLOR (preferably black--no pastels). My son has terrible eczema on his wrists and the back of his hands in the winter, where his sleeves rub. I bought long white satin flower-girl gloves and cut off the fingers and thumb, and hemmed them. This works beautifully, but they get terribly grubby. So I'm looking for the same sort of thing in black. |

Hello, Atardiff. Sorry to hear about your son, but I think your creative solution is genius! Here are a few sites to try: http://www.somethingspecialbridal.com/gloves.htm (scroll down about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way down the page, to "Children's Gloves." Although the pictures are white, they indicate that black satin is available in elbow- and shoulder- length.) http://www.costumesinabox.com/pd_childrens_elbow_length.cfm and http://www.costumesinabox.com/pd_childrens_shoulder_length.cfm These are polyester, so they may not work, but just in case: http://www.globalsources.com/gsol/I/Dress-glove/p/2000000003844/3000000150800/sm/1000777921.htm http://www.costumesinc.com/c123_g479/Costumes_Accessories.html?&User_ID=20394095&st=4169&st2=44526510&st3=78517130 Scroll down about 3/4 of the way down the page, to "Child's Long Gloves." The picture is white, but the drop-down "Select Color" menu includes black. The direct link to the gloves themselves is http://www.costumesinc.com/p1844/Childs-Long-Gloves.html? However, it doesn't say what the material is. And here's an Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000BY5BTA/sr=1-21/qid=1134498942/ref=sr_1_21/102-6567004-0014540?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance This one appears to be satin. I hope these sites are helpful. Let me know if I can provide any further assistance. |

I am sorry to hear about your son's problem. Maybe you could dye the gloves, or have them dyed. Certainly if the gloves are cotton, this would be no problem. A flesh tone or a little darker would probably hide the immediate dirt. (Hopefully, then, the dye itself is not problematic.) I am sure that you have informed yourself about exzema, but perhaps this site adds some information: http://www.eczema.org/faqfile.htm Regards, Myoarin |

After I asked the question (and got a perfect answer--thank you!) I found out that what I invented by cutting up flower-girl gloves already exists. It's called Posey skinsleeves. I re-invented the wheel. But I don't care--I'm so happy to have found a solution to my son's eczema. There are drugs that work, but they're all dangerous. |
