Review on Stretchy and Reusable Halloween Costume: An Effective Investment by Amber Loridon

These gloves have MANY problems

If you don't want to read my detailed review, here's a quick review: No quality control, the glove was made of fabric on the wrong side, the fingertips are too thick and there was no use in thread is used in the construction of these gloves, making them extremely short-lived. The first glove I pulled out of the box had a lot of torn, dangling fabric dangling from the wrist. I thought it might have been a loose or damaged hem, but upon closer inspection it turned out that there was a piece of excess fabric stuck in the side seams. I was able to fix this by removing the top 1/4" of the fabric from my wrist. Since the wrists of the gloves were not hemmed properly but simply left with an open edge, they still match other gloves. There isn't same quality control issue. The fabric is definitely not 100% cotton, but it looks like a cotton/synthetic blend. It's not the best fabric, but it's not the worst either. It's quite soft and has a decent stretch. The problem is that each glove is constructed inside out which means the right side of the fabric faces in leaving the less attractive wrong side on the outside shows a lack of attention to detail when I first put these gloves on ", I noticed an uncomfortable excess bulk on my fingers. I turned the glove over to see what was wrong with it, where I found an extra 1/4". Beyond the required 1/8 inch seam allowance used to make the rest of the gloves. This means that each finger of each glove needs to be tailored to fit comfortably. This was definitely something that needed to be done during construction. Another thing I noticed when I turned it inside out is that no thread was used in the seams. ZERO thread. Rather than being stitched, these gloves appear to be held together with artificial stitching where the fabric has fused. Or maybe it was glued. Anyway, it wasn't sewn right. I can already confirm that it is definitely less durable than if they were sewn. I had to sew up the tears on this first pair of gloves after trying them on, turning them inside out, inside out, and trying them on again. I'll probably just take the precautions and do what should have been done when they were made and sew the glued areas before use and then trim the excess fabric from the fingers so they can actually be used. weak seams, i wanted to give these 3 stars as the price is pretty low for a pair. However, I don't even wear them for more than 2 minutes before the seams rip and that lowers my rating. When I ordered these I was expecting more than a disposable item. I don't plan on returning them, but I definitely don't plan on buying them again. Instead, I'll do the tedious work of sewing and cutting each pair of gloves before I use them and hopefully make better choices the next time I buy gloves. I expect to have to buy more soon based on the durability I've seen so far.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
