How to put it together
- 1
Identify the character style to determine if you need matte cotton, glossy satin, or oversized plush gloves.
- 2
Measure your hand from the wrist to the tip of your middle finger to ensure a snug, gap-free fit.
- 3
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before putting them on to prevent transferring dirt or oils to the white fabric.
- 4
Gently pull the gloves on finger by finger, smoothing out any bunching at the knuckles or wrist.
- 5
If wearing long satin gloves, smooth the fabric upward along your forearm for a sleek, elegant finish.
- 6
Secure any wrist cuffs, watch, or bracelets over the glove hem if your character's design requires it.
Makeup & hair
Style your hair and apply makeup completely before putting on the white gloves to avoid staining the pristine white fabric with foundation, lipstick, or hairspray.
