Trying to get this bridesmaid gown and accessories listed today, and I don't know what to call these fingerless/handless gloves with tiny buttons. Have I heard mitts? Nothing sounds right to me...
Could anyone tell me what these glove-like things are called?

They are called fingerless sleeves.
That is what I am thinking...fingerless gloves.

Thanks all, I didn't know if having very little covering on the hand still qualified as fingerless gloves/sleeves.
Ah, I think I will be doing 27 dresses this February Karen...maybe more!

On Wikipedia, the gauntlet entry includes this:
In the clothing industry gauntlet can refer to a fashion accessory which is just an extended cuff with little or no hand covering.
There is this citation from brides.com:
Fingerless Glove
Covers the hand and arm only and varies in formality and length. Best for: a hassle-free ring exchange.
Gauntlet Glove
Resembles a sleeve from elbow to wrist. Best for: formal sleeveless or strapless wedding dresses.
I have always called gloves that flared up from the wrist gauntlet gloves...anyone else?

You've probably listed your dress already Maggie. I would still call these fingerless sleeves as that is what many of the bridal stores call them. I have also seen gauntlets used to describe these gloves and I think the term is completely misleading. Don't know why it caught on.
