WHAT DO I GET WITH MY PURCHASE?

Please note you are purchasing a digital pattern that will be sent directly to your email inbox after payment. You can print this pattern at home on A4 or US letter-sized paper or take it to a print shop for large scale printing (AO size). *You will not receive a hard copy printed pattern.*

Instant download available immediately after checkout includes:

1. Instructions

2. PAH Pattern file (PAH=Print at home)
For printing in A4 or US Letter on a home printer. Printing at home is the most cost-effective, and sticking your pattern tiles together to make your full size pattern is easy. Further information for printing at home can be found in our Resources section here. 

3. AO Pattern file
AO is a large scale file designed to be printed at a Print Copy Shop. You cannot print this on your home printer as it is too big. If you choose to use this large file you will pay extra to have it printed but you do not have to stick anything together.

You can use the ADOBE LAYERS FEATURE to open the PAH pattern file and print only the size you need (and eliminate the "noise" of the unwanted sizes). You can also use the URL and bookmark links within the file to quickly access information and support. Download Adobe Reader for free (for Windows and Mac) here.

4. Video tutorial support for completing a professional yoke finish, adjusting fit around your bust (FBA) and adding snap fasteners.

Really really cute and easy to style
Size: 8, Color: Black, Size: 8, Color: Black
These look GOOD in person. The design is simple but really classy, and the straps don’t look or feel cheap. The material feels like a smooth faux leather with a slight sheen. It doesn’t feel stiff, and the straps have a little flexibility so they don’t dig into your feet. Comfort-wise, they’re about what you’d expect for a 4-inch heel. Not something I’d wear all day, but for a few hours or a night out they feel secure and easy enough to walk in. The black color is perfect. It’s a true black and goes with pretty much everything. Sizing felt true to size for me. I got an 8 and it fit just right. At around $45, they feel like a fair value for a simple, stylish heel that looks polished without being over the top. I think they make sense if you want a simple pair of heels you can wear with multiple outfits without spending a lot more.

Sexy and Elegant Heels
Size: 7.5, Color: Gold, Size: 7.5, Color: Gold
I love the design of these high heels—they’re very sexy and feminine, and they make your legs look beautiful. I’m planning to wear them on my birthday with a dark green dress (shown in my video), and I think they pair really well together. The only thing I would change is the shade of gold. I wish it were a bit less bright, more like champagne or rose gold, so the dress could stand out even more.

Cute shoes
Size: 8.5, Color: Brown, Size: 8.5, Color: Brown
Let a friend borrow these for prom. They looked soo good. Beautiful shoes, comfortable, nice color, and survived dancing the night away. I would recommend these and think they are a great value. The fit is true to size as I’m an 8.5: /9 and these fit me perfect. The photo is of my shoe on a size 8 foot

Elegant & Surprisingly Comfortable Heels 👠
Size: 9, Color: Brown, Size: 9, Color: Brown
These strappy nude heels are absolutely gorgeous in person! The minimalist design makes them super versatile — I’ve worn them with dresses, jeans, and even formal outfits. The nude color helps elongate the legs, and the thin straps give such a classy, elegant look. I was honestly surprised by how comfortable they were for stilettos. The ankle strap keeps the foot secure, so I didn’t feel like I was constantly slipping around while walking. The heel height is definitely high, but they’re manageable for dinners, parties, weddings, or a night out. They also look much more expensive than they are. Great quality for the price, and they instantly elevate any outfit. Definitely a pair of heels to add to your closet!!
