Fascinators, Gloves and Hats

It is a pity that nobody wears gloves these days except Madonna, who wears bizarre leather driving gloves (probably to hide the fact that her hands don’t match her face in terms of earth years) and Dot Cotton of Eastenders, who is one of the best-dressed women on TV. But gloves are the sort of thing you could absolutely wear to an afternoon tea party. White or pale kid gloves would certainly add to a general atmosphere of elegance and daintiness.
