Issues of etiquette In the scene of Kitty and Levin's wedding, gloves are mentioned twice: "He saw that the sigh stopped in her chest and the small hand in a high glove holding the candle trembled." The father of the bride holds the crown high above her head "trembling with his hand in a three-button glove." The wedding takes place in the evening, "it's more beautiful" - as one of the guests puts it. Therefore, Kitty's dress is evening, and long gloves are supposed to go with it, which we see in the text. By the way, at the wedding, not only the bride must wear gloves, but also all the invited ladies. Even in 1937, the rules of etiquette require them to wear white or similar gloves. For men, it is preferable to choose gray suede.
