I'm a seamstress with an interest in historical fashion, and I'm thinking about starting a side hustle creating and renting out period costumes for events, theater productions, and themed parties.

I’m thinking of theater groups, event planners, and historical reenactors—but it seems like a lot to think about at once, and I get overwhelmed with the details."
