I've been looking at knitting/crochet patterns to decide what gloves to make for my potential proper lady costume since I am in love with knitting and crochet at the moment. I also don't really like leather gloves because they're either too big for me or snug and sort of sweaty.

Here are the one's I like from ravelry. I guess fingerless is okay because they were back then and earlier (I saw some lace ones when I was watching Emma last week). I don't know how period these are and most of them I know clearly aren't but still are cute IMO:

Option one
Option two
Option three
Option four
Option five
Option six
Option seven (would be finished shorter than shown)
Option eight

They'll be in white, black, pearl gray, or a light brown. I've never made gloves so this should be a challenge!

I like option 2, but option 4 looks more period to me, I don't know why.

2, 5 & 7 shorter.
I like the cuffs on 3 but the glove looks too much like a heavy-duty sock.

3, 4, 6, or 7.

I really like the design of 3, but don't care for the effect of the yarn chosen. Since I presume you'd chose something less winter sock-like, I'll vote for it. (Though I think it would look better if the portion by the fingers was a bit more like 8.)

I agree with pui that 4 looks more period. 6 also strikes me as period, though it doesn't interest me very much.

Would you be doing daytime or evening for the rest of the outfit? Short gloves are more "day wear."

Day time. So about half-fore arm length.

Oooh, also I think six and eight look the most period.
