Inventing New Products/Inventions/Dress Designs

Question
Hi,

I have an idea for a dress design(and other fashions)that I would like to create. What is the first step in bringing the idea to fruition?

Answer
Get some sketches together and get a tailor to start making samples. I was in the fabric market the other day here in Shanghai, its a great spot where tourists get custom suits, dresses, shirts made up. I also saw a few people with their sketches sitting down at the booths to get designs made up. If you can't manage to get to Shanghai maybe I can link you up with someone here. Send me an email: maurice(at)flexrev(dot)com.
