Wow. That is a problem. The only thing that comes to mind right now is not a very good solution: fold the gauntlets in half and hand stitch a matching tube of lycra based fabric to the folded gauntlet to make a new sleeve so that the top of the gauntlets are decorated and the underside plain. Hmm. Not very well explained: it would look like a red gauntlet that was decorated only on the top. The lycra would allow it to fit your arm snugly. If you decide to open the gauntlets up, you could also use an insert of lycra for stretch instead of elastic.
I suspect that isn't much help. I'll think some more about it.
