This isn't authentic historical costuming. But anyone who wants to cash
in on the "boho" fashion trend could probably do rather nicely for a
year or so making bell-sleeved and/or ruffly blouses, gypsy skirts, and
Victorian- and Edwardian-inspired coats and jackets. And other
historic-inspired items according to their fancy. Probably
ready-to-wear rather than custom.
I would never make custom costumes for anyone but myself and my
husband. IMO, if you make custom clothing (as opposed to ready-made)
your job is to make what the customer wants, if feasible within the
constraints of their schedule and budget. I hate hiring someone to do
something for me and then having them insist on doing it to their specs,
not mine. On the other hand, I don't want to work to anyone's specs but
my own.
End result--I wouldn't touch a custom costuming career with a ten-foot pole.
