Future Idea, Maybe?!

Image
So I really love the 50's style of clothing. And I have this idea that maybe in the future I would create a clothing line that revolves around that type of style but making a little bit more modern, so when people look at the line dont think that its too old fashion or anything. My only problem is that i don't really know if anyone would like this idea. Thats where you guys, yes you who is reading this, come in and let me know if this is a good idea or not. So below are a few pictures of dresses, and no the line would not just be around dresses. it would range from dresses to shirts to pants to even shirts. So please comment and let me know if you like this idea, please and thank you! All photos were found on Google
