Yes. They are riding gloves

Funny you say riding gloves when I looked at that pic I was thinking of the song riders on the storm by Jim Morrison of the doors.

Fantastic look - sheer black face veils would compliment the gloves. There is something powerful and restrained about Edwardian fashion.

Here's how

Unfortunately I have no date for this dress exactly but this is more about the actual colouring itself. Not all fashion was/is good for the wearer or the seamstress.

Arsenical Green in mid-Victorian fashion for ladies. Here is a gorgeous outfit, alongside a picture of the hands of those who sewed the 'deadly' fabric.

These are called Moroccan caftans. It is a traditional dress in Morocco, that women wear for weddings and traditional parties.
Absolutely stunning!

Oh! How dapper for a gent to be seen in a pair of these!

La woman and Roadhouse Blues were my favourite doors songs.

Bullet bras today are a symbol of the 1940 & 1950s.
With the suggestive silhouette they lend, these pointy bras became iconic.
The first bullet bra was made in 1941 under the Perma-Lift brand. Ads for the new style of bras captivated customers with promises of supreme comfort and support all in one. The Perma-Lift was made without underwires- only stitching forced the cups to keep their shape.
The shape of the bra cups were conical, but since it was wartime, the terms “bullet bra” and “torpedo bra” both stuck around. Just like the new hairstyle was called Victory rolls, so the newest bra was given a name that reflected the times.
The 1940s was a decade torn apart by World War II, but the war also gave rise to a whole new culture of glamor.

Tania ... for the most part, I reckon that I needed to have lived in certain times to appreciate the styles of those times.

But, since you asked, my personal preference matches yours, in that the lady at top left is my favourite of those displayed ... however, I will give a special mention to she at the bottom right who appears to be the only genuinely short-haired lass amongst these 16 women.

Here's a bigger challenge for you : Which of these ladies possesses the most compelling smile ?
