    Not taking this further ... it's one of the "would love someone to do" ideas that I have constantly, but don't think it's for me.

    Happy for anyone else to take it on board - online clothing for body shape rather than just a huge random download, or age related (some of us oldies still like to dress young!)

    Lol all the advice wasn’t coming from people who have done it, online stores in the clothing niche are best done without drop shipping. Drop shipping is one of the worst ideas for a growing business.

    whenever you’re choosing something that is emotionally selected at the discretion of an individual, you need to focus on a brand.

    You can’t have a brand drop shipping.. it’s working hard without having any control over pricing/product and very limited control over customer retention or customer satisfaction.

    If you want to sell products you first need to have samples made, test these on the market, preferably with advertising spend. in the clothing game just follow what is trendy and likely to be desired and bring out items in line with that..

    there’s obviously a million things to consider but the absolute beginning starts with knowing that you need to create a brand, and you need to service your specific target market well.
