Find a website that allows you to create and tweak custom clothing designs for free. Websites such as Spreadshirt, DressByDesign, MakeYourOwnJeans and StyleShake give users the opportunity to select a plethora of items to design at no cost to the designer.
Select the clothing item you want to design. For example, choose jeans, a dress, a skirt, a hat or whatever item inspires your creativity. If you are creating clothing to add to your own closet, pick something that will be a nice addition to your current wardrobe and style.
Decide on your fabric choices and/or colors. Consider the season and the other clothes you may want to wear with it when making your selection. Again, be conscious of the intended wearer and the colors that will enhance her skin tone.
Choose specific qualities for the neckline, hemline and inseam. Pick cuts and seams that will complement the wearer's figure and are appropriate for the item's daywear or evening-wear functionality. Think about any jewelry that may accessorize your decollete when narrowing down your neckline preferences.
Design to your heart's delight. Play with a variety of color combinations and different tailoring specifications to test the website's design capabilities. Do not limit your creativity by trying only one website. Instead, test-drive a few websites before committing to any purchases. Save your designs in your user account, or copy and paste your images to your hard drive. You can order your designs to be made and shipped to you, and some sites give you the option to order patterns of your work so that you can make them yourself.
