Princess Sailor Moon-Satin Gloves?

[Ellethwen]

Hi people! I'm starting to think about what costume I want to make for Halloween this year; I make the costume for Halloween and can then wear it to any other costume thing afterwards. I'm almost certain that I will make the Princess Sailor Moon fuku, but I have a question about the gloves. I need to know this so I can make as accurate a costume as possible, and so my information for the analysis of this outfit is correct for Celestial Trance.

Are they satin or something similar? A lot of the pictures seem to show it as being something shiny, yet there are also a lot of pictures where they seem to be matte. I know that they're stiffened at the top with a matte fabric, but what about the rest?

What do you guys think? Are the gloves from this costume satin, or a stretchy cotton? I'm leaning towards the satin, but I want to be absolutely sure.

I don't know but I'd lean towards them being done as cheaply as possible, costoms often are cheaper then they appear on tv

I don't really find that to be a good assumption after I wrote up the whole analysis ^.^;

lol it was based on seeing various things where it showed them picking up bits and peices off markets for tv shows - but the japanese tv may actually do things right, i mean they did all those monsters lol

I think that's something more than satin, something like a cotton, something harder. as you said, a stretchy cotton.

Can't you just flip a coin or summtin?

ok, ok, I say satin! Geez!

[Tritogeneia]

I'd say it's stretchy shiny cotton...but then again I don't know much about fabric. ;D

AHAH!

IT'S SATEEN!

Sateen is a cotton fabric with a satin-like finish, often found in bed sheets.

Thanks for putting in your ideas, I wouldn't have thought it was a sort of shiny cotton.
