Gloves
Gloves at Lovva are intimate and costume accessory gloves designed to complement lingerie, burlesque, and role play looks. From elbow-length satin opera gloves through to fishnet and lace glove styles that pair with lingerie sets, this collection covers the classic accessories that elevate an intimate outfit from functional to theatrical. Gloves sit naturally within the broader Lovva accessories range alongside hosiery, jewellery, shoes, and wigs for customers building a complete costume or intimate wardrobe look.
About This Collection
Long gloves are one of the most historically associated accessories in burlesque, pin-up, and theatrical intimate dressing. A pair of satin opera gloves worn with a corset or a statement lingerie set transforms the look in a way that few other accessories can match: they add length, elegance, and a sense of occasion that is immediately striking. Fishnet and lace gloves take a different approach, adding texture and edge to a lingerie look in the same way fishnet hosiery does for legs. Both styles are well represented in the Lovva gloves collection alongside shorter wrist-length and elbow-length options for a broader range of looks.
What Is in the Collection
Satin opera gloves are long, smooth gloves extending to the upper arm or elbow in classic satin fabric in black, white, red, and other colours. They are the signature piece for burlesque and formal intimate occasions. Fishnet gloves are open-weave gloves in wrist, elbow, and opera lengths that add texture and a raw edge to lingerie and costume looks, particularly when paired with matching fishnet hosiery. Lace gloves use delicate lace fabric for a softer, more romantic accessory that pairs well with bridal lingerie, babydolls, and occasion lingerie. Faux leather and PVC gloves suit fetish-adjacent, dominatrix, and theatrical costume aesthetics. Fingerless gloves are available in lace, fishnet, and faux leather for a partial-coverage look that suits both casual and costume-specific styling. Length options across the collection include wrist, elbow, and opera length.

Choosing Gloves
Match the glove style to the look you are building. Satin opera gloves suit classic burlesque, pin-up, and formal intimate occasions where elegance is the priority. Fishnet gloves suit rock, gothic, or edgy costume looks, particularly when paired with matching fishnet hosiery. Lace gloves suit romantic and bridal-adjacent lingerie looks. Faux leather and PVC gloves suit theatrical dominatrix and fetish-adjacent costumes.
Consider length for the occasion. Opera-length gloves extending to the upper arm make the most dramatic visual statement and suit theatrical occasions. Elbow-length gloves balance drama with versatility. Wrist-length gloves suit a more subtle accessory role alongside a lingerie set where the gloves complement rather than dominate the look.
Sizing: Most intimate gloves in the collection are one-size or stretch-fit and accommodate a broad range of hand and arm sizes. Fishnet and lace gloves in particular are made from stretch fabrics that fit most wearers. Check individual product pages for any specific sizing guidance.
The Lovva blog on how to build a complete intimate wardrobe is a useful read for anyone putting together a considered intimate accessories look that pairs gloves with lingerie, hosiery, and shoes.
Caring for Intimate Gloves
Hand wash satin gloves in cold water with a gentle detergent and allow to dry flat. Do not wring or twist satin as this distorts the fabric and causes permanent creasing. Fishnet and lace gloves can be hand washed in cold water and allowed to dry flat. Faux leather and PVC gloves should be wiped clean with a soft damp cloth and stored away from sharp objects and direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions
What types of gloves are in the Lovva Gloves collection?
The collection includes satin opera gloves in classic colours, fishnet gloves in wrist, elbow, and opera lengths, lace gloves for romantic and bridal-adjacent looks, faux leather and PVC gloves for theatrical and fetish-adjacent costumes, and fingerless gloves in lace, fishnet, and faux leather. Length options range from wrist through to full opera length extending to the upper arm.
What glove style suits a burlesque or pin-up look?
Satin opera gloves are the classic burlesque and pin-up accessory. Long smooth gloves in black, white, or red extending to the elbow or upper arm paired with a corset or statement lingerie set create the theatrical elegance that defines this aesthetic. Fishnet opera gloves offer an alternative for a more raw or gothic variation on the same long-glove silhouette.
What is the difference between opera-length and elbow-length gloves?
Opera-length gloves extend to the upper arm, above the elbow, for the most dramatic and theatrical visual impact. They are the most striking statement among the glove lengths and suit burlesque, formal intimate, and theatrical occasions. Elbow-length gloves end at or just above the elbow for a balance of drama and versatility. Wrist-length gloves play a more subtle accessory role alongside a lingerie set.
Do gloves from this collection come in standard sizes?
Most intimate gloves in the collection are one-size or stretch-fit and accommodate a broad range of hand and arm sizes. Fishnet and lace styles are particularly accommodating due to the stretch of the fabric. Check the individual product page for any specific sizing guidance before ordering, as some structured or fitted glove styles may specify a size range.
How do I care for satin gloves?
Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent and allow to dry flat. Do not wring or twist satin fabric as this causes permanent distortion and creasing. Do not tumble dry. Store loosely folded or laid flat in a drawer away from sharp objects and direct sunlight. For fishnet and lace gloves, hand wash in cold water and dry flat. For faux leather and PVC gloves, wipe clean with a soft damp cloth.
