This is a dress made out of pina fabric which is considered an heirloom fabric from the Philippines. It is over an altered upcycled silk dress. Added sleeves to Simplicity 5514. Similar to Burda lace dress except with 3/4 sleeves.

Thank you! Ok weird question. I ordered these shoes from Zappos.com and my heel keeps slipping out. Ordering half size smaller but if too small. How to make these fit better?
