My 70-year old Mum is adamant that she wants to wear a pair of gloves to my brother's wedding next Saturday!! She has searched all over to no avail-and has my Dad demented!! any-one??? She needs dark grey if possible (or grape-but may be hard to match colour of suit) and med-large. Doesnt want anything " too wintery looking!!"
Please...... She lives Dungannon area but we can get to Belfast..or anywhere really!

What about Accessorize? I know they do hats and gloves and not always woolly ones - might be leathery ones instead? Or what about Debenhams?Feel free to thank me, it makes my toes tingle and my ears go warm :T0

A few websites that might be able to help - the first couple are very pricey though :eek:

When I was young I used to work in D Lyle Halls, Royal Ave in Belfast, we specialised in gloves, sold thousands of them. I loved wedding season, when everyone came in with their handbag and shoes to match to their gloves. I don't think another shops sold such a selection or quantity.. Don't think you will find that sort of shop now..0

How about trying ebay, maybe under vintage?
good luck, Arty.
Ive seen some lovely vintage lace weding type ones. Tell your Mum that gloves look good even if just carried (if they dont fit!) Its true, they do complete an outfit with a classy touch:)
