Female friend is taking the rider safety course to get her license, and, hopefully, a new 883L. She is looking for a pair of three season gloves, functional not fashionable. We looked in a bunch of bike shops, and on line as well. Everything is either motorcross or frilly/flowery. Any suggestions?

Yep.
No such thing as a three season glove. I have about six or seven pair, heavily insulated (under 50F), FXRG insulated (50-60F), deer skin (60-70F), ventilated, (70F+), some for in between, like goretex raingloves...

I think wyo is right. Doubt you will find a three season glove. The harley shop is doing better with gloves for women that are functional but I still haven't found what I want either. I want a warmer pair with the little squeegy thingy on the finger to wipe glasses/face shield when riding in the rain.
I have Olympia gloves that I bought at a Suzuki shop. They're not three season but they're plain black leather, not frilly, flowery or colorful. I'm all about the function myself and I like them fine. Technically they're winter gloves but I'm comfortable in them until the temp gets up to about 65.

Motor Company gloves, leather with the bar/shield logo. They aint 3 season but they're not bad. I don't know the model number or anything....I haven't ridden in really cold weather (a wuss I guess) but I've been out and about at close to freezing and the gloves I got at the HD dealer do pretty well.
However they're not on the website, so I'd go to your dealer and just look over the stock and try 'em on. I've found that a lot of stuff at the dealer is not on the site???......The jacket I recently bought is still not listed but you can buy it locally ....
what i use are a pair of mountain bike gloves by oakley. although not full leather (they have vents between the fingers), they have a carbon fiber knuckle on them. i looked on the oakley site and couldn't find them any more. they are definatly for warmer weather riding, but are very confortable.
