Experience
I made costumes since I was little, started selling them on eBay 8 years ago, grew to an eBay store, created my own retail website ThreeMusesClothing.com in 2005, then opened my first storefront location in 2009. I started the business with one costume and now sell my own line plus many other brands in my store.
