Ladies' gloves for formal and semi-formal wear come in three lengths for women: wrist, elbow, and opera or full-length (over elbow, usually reaching to the biceps, but sometimes the full length shirt </ a> The most expensive full-length gloves are custom made of kid leather, also known as kidskin. Many other types of leather, usually are soft varieties of cowhide used in the full length gloves, patent leather and suede are especially popular as alternatives to kidskin, and are often more affordable than kidskin.

While the etymology of the term opera glove is unknown, gloves, over-the-elbow length, the Queen Mary is from the 1690s, where she is shown wearing elbow-length gloves). Over-the-elbow gloves were first very popular during the Regency / Napoleonic period (ca. 1800-1825) and declined in popularity in the early and mid-Victorian period (ca. 1830-1870) but had their biggest fashion over the last two decades of the 19th century and the years of the 20th century prior to the start of WWII I. During this period, they were standard for both day and evening wear with most types of clothing-even some swimming outfits of the period was accessorized with opera gloves. Etiquette this period is considered gloves to be mandatory accessory for both men and women of the upper classes, so it was quite unusual during this era to see a well-dressed woman on a public occasion, which was not wearing gloves of some sort. According to several fashion historians, over-the-elbow gloves were popular, or more accurately re-popularized in the late 19th century by the famous actresses Sarah Bernhardt in France (who liked wearing long gloves to disguise is most widespread as a fashion accessory in the 1940s through the 1960s (long gloves were an important accessory of Christian Dior's "New look" models) but continues to this day to be popular with women who want to add a special elegant touch to their formal outfits, and have enjoyed less revivals in fashion design several occasions in recent years (they were very prominent, for example, in haute couture collections for autumn / winter 2007 season).

(Actress Audrey Hepburn was also known for glove-wearing on-and off-screen, but the style of glove she popularized a type of coat-sleeve length or three-quarters-length glove, rather than genuine opera-length.)

The best known form of opera gloves, the Mousquetaires, given this name because of the wrist-level opening (usually three inches long), which is closed by three (usually) buttons or snap closure, most often made of mother of pearl or some lookalike material.

Mousquetaires gloves have buttons at the wrist so the wearer could open the buttons and slip her hand without taking the whole glove out. The finger sections are folded in and kept away nicely. This is how the ladies wore gloves while you eat. After the meal they would put their hands back in the Mousquetaires opening / closing of women's long gloves appear to have been most popular during the Victorian era, the Napoleonic / Regency period, women's long gloves often tailored Rosamund Pike and several other actresses wear opera-length gloves with a drawstring ribbon at the top of the glove, but this may not be an accurate representation straps or bands.)

In Japan, the ladies wear long gloves all day in summer, to protect the ideal irojiro or light skin, which represents beauty, grace, and high social status (as well as purity and divinity in local religions), and thus many Japanese women avoid any for tanning.
