How to Start My Own Lingerie Business

Lingerie are women's undergarments, and may imply their being fashionable and alluring. Lingerie includes undergarments using flexible, stretchy, sheer, or decorative materials like Lycra, nylon (nylon tricot), polyester, satin,lace, silk and sheer fabric. Certain cotton or synthetic undergarments are also lingerie.

Start a lingerie business on a shoestring budget -- perhaps that should be a bra strap budget -- or spend tens of thousands of dollars. Your costs depend on several factors, including whether you're making the lingerie, wholesaling or selling it at retail. Where you sell the lingerie, how much inventory and equipment is required, marketing costs and, of course, licensing all affect costs.
