Congratulations! It's usually a good sign when things work that well so quickly. Things you should consider:

1. Who are you going to sell to? You need to be very specific about this in your mind so your advertising efforts can reach your target market. E.g., high school girls who live in zip codes in the top 5% of incomes (just making that up as an example, not suggesting it's correct).

2. Why are they going to buy from you and not someone else? Since this is a labor-intensive business, price is probably not a good way to appeal to your customers. You should look at how much it would cost them to buy a dress from elsewhere and, after deciding how much you're going to charge (which will probably be much more than their alternatives will charge), find a way to differentiate your service so your target audience will feel the higher price is worth it.

3. Track precisely how much time and money it costs you to make a dress. I'm sure how long it takes will be different for each dress depending on options, you'll need to be able generate accurate estimates so you can quote customers. Make sure the amount you charge will pay you well, you don't want to end up working for less than minimum wage (which can easily happen).

It's OK to figure this stuff out by trial and error over a period of a few months. Just make sure you leave yourself enough free time that you can think about these things, make plans, and end up with a business you're happy with. There's always a way, but it's often not the first way you come up with.

Best of luck to you!
