He destroyed my life...

So yeah, my own buisness, big responsibility eh? confused
Well first off, my reason for needing to make my own buisness is that because of health issues and being disabled I cannot hold an average type job. And there aren't any jobs that will turn a blind eye to me randomly falling asleep during the day (I can't help it sweatdrop ). I also have a disabled mother and a seven (nearly eight) year old, partially disabled, sister to look after. Stressfull much?
So my idea is that I will start creating tailor made clothing that I can sell. Sound good?
Well I have my own ideas, and I have created some clothing already. The problem is that my ideas all tend to be the same.

Discuss:-
- Starting buisnesses.
- What you think of my idea.
- Any designs you think would be good to create.
- Latest fashons.
- If I were to make a outfit just for you, what would it look like?


For you wonderful peoples - The dress I made the other day.
((Sorry for the crappy cam quality))

1. If you want to start a business, good for you. ^w^ But it's really stressful, just so you know. You might want to get someone else to go in with you - a friend, maybe? to help you handle all the technical crap. You also need money to begin, and connections when it comes to work... have you considered starting with prom dresses or something like that?

2. If you're good at it, go for it. biggrin I would stab myself in the finger with a pin fifty times a day, but your dress looks cute, so it seems like you'll be good at it.

3. If you're having design problems, you need to experience more concepts. Try surfing the net for a wide variety of clothing ideas. If you can, it would also benefit you to go to the mall and just have a long look around at the different clothes there. What do they have? What don't they have? What do they need? Stick around the changing rooms and see if you can overhear any comments from people. What do they wish they could find? What's wrong with that shirt, and why don't those pants look right? You might even survey people, if you're brave enough.

4. I don't pay attention to them, sorry.

5. Hmm... I'd probably request a sundress of sorts... Maybe a nice shade of pink, with long, flowing sleeves that were off the shoulder. A white ribbon beneath the breasts and then the rest of it flowing or something like that...? I prefer skirts and dressed at the very least.

-If possible go walk around clothing stores and see what's "hip" now and add your own little spice into that.
-Take inspiration from historical styles and modernize them.
-Think outside the box <;

Skirts during the summer, long skirts during the winter and what I would do is do some funky prints that you don't really see anywhere else. That way you can be unique and maybe start a new craze. ;3
Ipod covers also can be money making.
As far as shirts go...urm...I'm not very good with the ideas. D:
Sorry. ><
And like for the skirts, you can do like funky cuts and such. 3nodding Sorry I prolly wasn't much help.

Well I suggest that you take a look at some websites to see what types of clothes are popular right now, so that you can get some patterns. :3

If you could make anything for me, it would probably be a Panda jacket. :3 Like a zip up jacket that makes your torso look like a panda's, and ears on the hood. >w< I'll try to draw an example really quick...

And actually, alot of other animal jackets would be wonderful as well. @w@ Like a kitty, puppy, penguin, bear, other animals. :3 That would be fantastic. Um... I could try and draw designs for you...they might look bad because I would be using a tablet, but whatever. C:

Umm...I've always liked legwarmers...you could maybe try making legwarmers...>.> And they're kind of coming back into fashion...C:

And as for a business, excellent! If I lived in the land of jolly 'ole England, I would come up and buy a dress from you. And I must say, that is a fairly excellent dress.
: D

There's alot of 80s things coming back into style, but I would make my own original line of clothing if I were you. Or just put things together that you like. C: Good luck! <333

Fuzzy leg warmers...like faux fur/real fur...any fur leg warmers are totally iin right now. Or at least in The Harajuku district I'veseen so far but a few fashionistas are bringing it over to North America. It won't be long...I have a feeling.
