Classical faces, with somewhere better to be than a museum. Our Greco-Roman velvet
opera gloves set Quirk’s original hand-drawn illustration against a deep burgundy
ground. Black lines pick out the curls and profiles of the pale busts; crushed velour
gives the print a shifting, light-catching surface.

The print began as Melynda’s original ballpoint-pen line drawing. The marks of her
hand give the classical busts their character: a familiar art-history reference,
drawn with Quirk’s sense of mischief.

## Velvet opera gloves with an illustrated edge

The long silhouette makes the most of the artwork. Wear them with a sleeveless black
dress to leave the print uninterrupted, or let the cuffs disappear beneath a tailored
jacket. A plain outfit gives the faces room; a burgundy accent elsewhere brings 
the look together.

 * One pair, handmade to order
 * Soft, stretchy crushed velour with a close fit
 * Original Quirk Greco-Roman illustration in burgundy, cream and black
 * Opera length: approximately 16 inches (40.6 cm) from wrist to upper hem
 * Small, Medium and Large, selected by hand measurements

## Choose your glove size

Measure around your knuckles, then measure from the tip of your middle finger to
the base of your hand. Compare both measurements below. These are hand measurements,
not clothing-size equivalents; a Small glove does not mean a Small dress size. For
an idea of where the top will sit, measure 16 inches up your arm from the wrist.

 Hand measurements — centimeters and approximate inches  |  Glove size |  Around knuckles |  Middle fingertip to base of hand |  
   |  Small |  16–17.8 cm / 6.3–7 in |  16–17 cm / 6.3–6.7 in |  
 |  Medium |  17.9–20.3 cm / 7–8 in |  17.1–18 cm / 6.7–7.1 in |  
 |  Large |  20.4–21.6 cm / 8–8.5 in |  18.1–19 cm / 7.1–7.5 in |

Inch equivalents are rounded from the centimeter measurements. The fabric stretches,
but a comfortable fit should let you move your hand naturally. If your measurements
fall between sizes, [ask us about glove fit before ordering](https://shopquirkla.com/contact-us/).
