hello all, a friend of mine has a very good and original idea...but lacks the knowledge of where to even start with a womens clothing brand....you all heard of spanx: http://www.spanx.com/

basically she has an idea to start a clothing line for women, but with a feature added to it...nothing like spanx, but using spanx as evidence so you know what shes in for.

basically she is working on the concept, the drawings etc...i will help with marketing...i know nothing of bras and panties haha....so we are looking up manufacturers and suppliers....but the thing is this...if we come up with the drawings and register it and all that, do we bring our design to the manufacturer or what should we do?

im just looking for steps 1-whatever so i get a better feel of what needs to be done

thanks all

and akula...please dont murder me! its not my idea!! haha just trying to help a friend

thanks
