Carry Your Flowers With afternoon or dinner dresses flowers held in the hand look much more graceful than flowers pinned on. Corsages look best with street dresses and suits. Gloves are not necessary when flowers hide the hands, but both gloves and bag are essentially required with street clothes. i Charge It? . Of Course!
