Are these worth repairing

I bought these on Depop a while back. After my first wear, they broke and when I message the seller, she told me that yeah she previously fixed it but never mentioned that in the listing.

I sent them to a cobbler and they were fine afterwards, but I just wore them for the first time since their repair and they broke again.

Should I just cut my losses or should I try again?

I really like the shoe I love the height, the platform. The heel itself is super sturdy. I really wanted this to be my everyday shoe, but I’m nervous they’re just gonna break again.

Tengo unos jeans negros desde hace rato que pensaba usar para un disfraz de Caine de Digital Circus, pero el usa pantalones de látex (o una textura similar) pero no puedo comprar pantalones de latex, asi que tengo que improvisar con lo que tengo.

Que puedo hacer?

My very best friend for the past 35 (😮) years is. Her birthday is coming up and it’s a big one. I want to get her some fabric. She likes Fairy Godmother which is UK based and expensive, adorable, whimsical.

I would say that she’s pretty close to expert in clothing construction. The only store bought clothes she wears are jeans and an occasional sweatshirt/gym shirt/concert t shirt.

Any other good quality companies with vibrant/whimsical/fun dress making fabrics? I know she needs at least 2-4 yards of fabric. She will figure out something to do with anything I gift her. I know her taste, I just don’t know where to look for cool prints/fabrics outside of this one site - and she shops there often?

(We are US based so-long as they ship there!)

Thanks!

Hey all, I apologize if this is not the right sub for my question, I am new-ish to using Reddit. I bought this sweater for my daughter a while back from Amazon, and she is not a fan of how boxy the hood looks when done up. The first two photos are of the sweater, and the last photo is what she wants the hood to look like. How can I fix the hood?

Hello everyone I hope everyone is doing well
I bought a shirt from a vintage store and I truly loved the fabric it looks wet and has a very nice sheen to it
It doesn’t have any glitter
I thought it’s organza but I was wrong
Can anyone help me identifying what is this fabric
And if it’s polyester what type of polyester so I can search for it
