I recently bought a large amount of sewing materials, fake fabric, and other materials for a friend so we could make a pair of costumes together.
I bought the stuff understanding there would be a deal. There was a verbal contract, and it was also discussed over IM. The deal was that we would do one of two things with the materials I had bought (about $450 dollars worth):
A. I would make the costume, but with her help.
or
B. that she would make the costume for me as a payment for what I bought.
In the end, neither of these things happened. We had a falling out, and she told me to "get out of her life." She has started on a costume of her own using my materials, and she refuses to pay me back or give me back the things I bought. Now she has finished her own costume, and is using it, but she has not paid me for any of it, (it was 100% paid for by me) and refuses to even talk to me anymore. What action can I take to get my money or the materials back from her?
