I love clothes and i like that i am always ingenuine about them and have a good perspective of how to dress...i don't have any idea on how a blouse is getting done but i have ideas on how to make clothes.Is that enough to start my own store? And is it expensive the investment?

I heard people always said that it is easy to earn money from women. So I think this is a good idea to start a clothing store. As you know, everybody needs the clothes, especially for women. When the season changes, they often like to update the latest clothes, too. I love China

It depends where are u located the store and also who are your supplier, in my locality , clothing are imported from China sweat factories wehre the fashion are awesomme abundant and in cheap price.THe prices ranges according to fashion design complexity and quality.Many shops are open as mini distributors for these fashion hence cause the cost price to be low.Rental of shop also will effect the profitiablity of the shop also.Think first and plan for fewe years ahead.

I'm sure it would be a costly investment, just like any business. Maybe you could start off by trying to sell your stuff on eBay or Etsy as that would take less of an investment (and a risk, at that).

I suggest you buildingup inventory first before opening up a store where you live or online only because you might find yourself being busy trying to make the clothes, but of course you could make the orderes as they come in and let the customers know that you make the clothes as the orders come in so they arent expecting them to be there the next day or something. Its going to be a hard business but promoting your store and getting out there is how its really all done. You have to promote on here, facebook and twitter and just get the name out there and what you are selling. I would like to start my own business but in life its hard but wish i could do more things but working a full time job and trying to make a few extra dollars each month online isnt easy and i try to do my best. Have a good day and goodluck on your adventure.

Yes its a good idea if you really like and your passion is on it.but for sure you need to have a good presentation and enough money to open one.and a good place where you will put up your store.In that way you will have assurance to your success.But lot of factor maybe needs a more effort at the sart when the store get known thats the time to your profit.

There is a big difference between desinging/developing clothes and having a shop. since you don't know how to make one yourself you could invest if you can start a shop and tell your ideas to someone who is able to make it. How expensive it all will be depends on where you live, where you want to start that shop, etc.

By starting your store i am picking this that you want to have a garment store RIGHT? where in you will be selling a variety of stitched, fashion garments.. well to me the idea sounds good but prior to that the research has to be done and the prospects will have to be seen.the questions that pop up in my mind are: Where will be my store? How big will be my store? What products will i keep? It would be only stitched or also unstitched material also? it will specialise in ladies garments or men also or even kids like family shop Now the investment part the more you want more you will have to pay..like if you have a small shop rent will be less if big affcourse rent will be big too.. similarily if only ladies ok if men then more investment and if children also then more ... so just go through the things and then calculate what you want and what its going to cost

i dthink clothing stores are not working good now with this econmoy but still it depend on the place you are in and where to open in it or how much costs these cloths and from which brand or country you are using them, this all will affect shops
