I'd like to start a business of designing dresses. Mostly evening gowns. Does anybody have any advice??

This is my dream career. I imagine that everybody knows what it's like to dream about what they want to do for a living, and about how great they think it would be. Point is, I don't know where to start. I have some drawings, but I live in a town where there's nobody ociated with this sort of thing. So, if anybody online knows about this sort of thing in any way, your cooperation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
