She was more interested in providing a personal touch; most of her designs and sketches were for a specific person in mind. She enjoyed making stage costumes for stage productions and worked on Softly Consider the Nearness, a stage play with a run at the Provincetown Playhouse. Carolyn developed a big name in the fashion world and leveraged it to price her services. Her criteria for pricing depended on the amount of work a specific design required and the cost of the necessary fabric. An everyday dress from her started at a price of $30. Carolyn operated her fashion services by scheduling appointments with her interested clients through telephone. She liked to keep her business old school and traditional and did not care about updating her promotion to match the modern world.

A fashion manager could have helped her adapt to the new marketing and business relationships methods, but she was not interested. Maxwell felt that her usual way of doing things would be all that she needed. She enjoyed getting to know her clients beyond the surface level so that she could tap into their wants and desires.
