My sense of aesthetics is very good. All of my friends want me to select and shop their clothes for all occasions. Everyone praises me for my dressing sense. I want to take advantage of my art, like I want to do work on this for getting money. I want to open such kind of service to all, if someone likes to know what they should wear on special occasions like interview, marriage party, day party, night party, casual wear and so on, I will suggest them and help them in shopping? Can I start such kind of work? Please help me. Will it be beneficial and what should I do to give my idea a shape, I don’t have much money to invest in the beginning of this venture. Any Idea?

You want to be a 'personal shopper' or a stylist.
Many higher-end stores provide such a service for people who want a professional to put together ensembles or are too busy to shop for clothes.
You can search local stores on the web, and see if they provide such a service. If they do, you can apply. If they don't, you can contact them and offer to provide such a service to them.
Stylists are also in demand in the fashion industry. You can search for jobs as 'stylist' in any jobsearch engine.
I recommend that you start working FOR a company first, to gain experience and capital before striking out on your own.

It's similar, if not actually, a personal shopper. They exist already-find your niche in a particular market. Get the people together who ask you for that advice and ask them if they have friends that would appreciate the same kind of service-and how much they would pay for it. Check into your local Small Business Association and or non profits that assist with marketing plans, business plans, and entrepreneurs.

i am with the opinion to work with a company or a big shop first ... at least to gain some experience in dealing with people ..
the second thing you can leave your contacts at any the shop Boards, or make an ad in your local newspaper
one more thing .. create a blog where you write some interesting articles about the field ...
the secret is in marketing your talent and let people know that you have it ... wish you luck
