Tengu said she didn't think they'd fit anyone....that sounds like the white kid gloves ladies used to wear. Tiny, tight, narrow things. They really need to be put on glove stretchers, and the white kid skin tears if one isn't very careful. It also gets grubby and stained very easily.
They were cleaned with chalk and kept clean, never allowed to get stained.
Totally impractical, but then, if the wearer could afford servants and dressers, it didn't matter.
