I am currently looking into opening a small clothes store. I will mainly be buying the stock from a wholesaler yet I am also very interested in designing some clothes under my own label, yet how do I go about this? Do I do some sketches and take them along to a manufacturer and they'd help with the material and masurements, or will I need to get all the measurements and everything planned out first??
Any help would be apreciated!!

You will need professionally cut patterns for your sketches and also samples made up in your chosen fabric to check the fit and cut before you approach a manufacturer.

Hi Zoe
My 23 year old sister, Emma, has done this (very recently!). Take a look at her website at www.vintage-style.co.uk. Feel free to drop her a line and ask for some guidance.
Kindest regards.

I'm so jealous
I'd have loved to have done this, but wouldn't have a clue where to start, unfortunately. Can't help you with clothes designing, but if you need a website, or any PR advice, give me a shout!

Hi Zoe
I have some relatives in this business, if email me some idea of what you want, I can direct it to the right person,
e.g. what kinds of clothes, which end of the market, volumes
