Make a copy. To make a copy of a favorite panty, cut the seam between the front and back of the undergarment. Cut the front portion first to obtain the crotch portion for the lining. Fold each piece in half at the center. Place the cut panty pieces on the paper and trace and cut your pattern pieces (three pieces in all: front, back and lining). Lay the pieces flat on the stiff paper. Trace around the panty segments leaving a 1/4-inch seam allowance. Add a 5/8-inch seam allowance at the hips. Now cut and iron your intended fabric into workable pieces and overlay the pattern pieces onto them. Decide which fabrics should go where, if you have a motley collection. Pin the fabric pieces to the pattern and cut and iron the resulting fabric pieces.
Decorate your store in appropriate décor. Put your best lingerie on those mannequins facing out. Whether your theme is shabby chic or Gothic, be consistent. A lingerie store should be clean and inviting, offering a warm and friendly atmosphere. Deck out your dressing rooms with great lighting and comfortable seating.
Purchase your Hot Sexy Lingerie, or materials, if you intend to design your own. Contact wholesale suppliers and visit eBay.com for closeout merchandise. Be particular about your merchandise. If you expect a certain level of quality, be sure that the suppliers can meet your needs. Purchase sewing equipment, if necessary, as well as sexy mannequins, tissue paper, gift boxes and gift bags. For your boutique, purchase display cases and tables, racks, shelves, mirrors, chairs, sofas and cleaning supplies.
Ensure that this is a venture that you can afford. Sit down and evaluate your finances. Write up a business plan to help you approximate how much start-up capital you will need. Include the cost of supplies, rental space, advertising, materials and licenses. If financing is out of the question, start your lingerie business from home. Once your business takes off, you can open a boutique.
