Ah then I'm afraid I don't know anyone who can help you out first hand.

A lot of online clothing retailers don't use models at all, and there's no mention of models in the OP.
I have a friend who owns a guitar store up in Canada, and he takes some pretty impressive photos of guitars using a walk-in closet as his "studio". He's got a couple of lights with diffusers, and some reflectors. His total investment in "studio equipment" was probably less than $600.00...
The OP had two pictures with models as the "desired result", and working with models takes considerably more room than working in the flat.
Check out the Flashpoint line from Adorama.
If I decided to go with mannequins instead of models, should I then opt for continuous rather than strobe lighting given that I'm a novice?
NYC, when you say high/medium powered monolights, how many WS are we talking? Any brands or models that are cost effective and of decent quality?
Thanks a bunch.

A GOOD (fixed f2.8 preferred) zoom lens in an appropriate focal length for your studio space. Longer lenses are better (you really don't want to shoot catalog at less than a 85mm equivalent), but longer lenses require a deeper shooting space so compromise will likely have to be made. The lens may cost between $500 and $2000 depending on your camera, new vs used, and the focal lengths you end up with.

Why minimum 85mm? Because of the distortion?
