"We had to string each pearl [on the boots] one by one. The pattern went up and down, and it was very tricky. We tried many times. When we finally got the right pearls, we sent them to Mexico City, where the project's shoemaker was. Once we had the boots ready, I wanted to secure the [pearls] with glue, and someone used the wrong kind of glue, and it turned yellow. We had to start all over again! That look drove me crazy. Honestly, I think that in many moments, Selena was on my side, because when we finally got the bra and the boots, they fit perfectly."
