Hi, firstly, if you are starting a business you will need insurance. Then you need an attorney to draw up a legal contract for your clients to read and sign. You should charge by the hour. You need to decide what amount for your valuable time. Remember ball gowns are expensive. For a custom made or replica of a photo, perhaps, a little more.Still even though it is custome made clients don't what to pay what they'd pay for a retail dress. Also special beading or details will cost a little more. You need a set amount for the amount of detailed beaded, ie. bust, v-back, etc. I, myself, would like a silk-satin, black, hourglass fitted gown with boning in the bust, low v back with beading. I could be your first client.

Good luck! Debbie
