I'll keep things simple. As the title alludes, I'm planning on opening my own Lolita Etsy shop in a few weeks or so. I pretty much have everything situated, but wondered if anyone had advice for opening/running an Etsy shop. I searched on the community, found lots of Etsy posts, but didn't see anything advice-wise.
(To let everyone know what kind of shop I plan on opening, I'm a plus-sized Lolita who wants to be able to make Lolita clothing for wearers of a variety of sizes. So far, I'm thinking more skirts and some accessories to start with, with me gradually branching into other items as time goes by so I don't get overwhelmed. I've already found some great fabrics to use. It'll also allow me to expand my sewing skills and practice what I already have down pat.)
(ETA: I'm taking a break from sewing (yay, new fabric!) but I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has chimed in with advice. This really helps my motivation, and keeps me thinking about what to do with the shop. I really appreciate everyone being so helpful. Who knows? Maybe we can all keep connected via Etsy circles or something and promote each other!)
