Do It Yourself T-shirt Design

We all know America’s got talent (harhar) but not everyone can be stars on reality television shows. You can create your own bit of fame by designing a t-shirt with your own message and/or creative vision. And with simple platforms like CafePress you can have your friends and family wearing them on their back (or hanging them on their walls — posters).
I think more plus size chics need to get their plus size creative game on, to counter all the fat joke tees running a muck in the world. We have a lot of catching up to do. Besides, designing your own tees allows you to get a deeper discount when you buy from your own shop.
When Cafe Press first started offering t-shirts there wasn’t a plus size shirt as far as the eye could see. But slowly as more and more shoppers expressed their desires for a larger selection of sizes Cafe Press provided. The plus size offerings were meager to begin with but today if you visit the thousands of designers offering t-shirts you’ll find a great selection of styles going up to size 5x. One of your designs could be snuggling up to theirs.
If you are not in to the design game you can still find considerable savings, on inspirational designs for pretty much everything from personal hobbies to favorite movies, by keeping an eye on Savings.com for additional CafePress savings. But I hope you’ll take advantage of the DIY design and then let us know about your plus size tee with a positive message by leaving a link for us in the  URL section of  the comment area).

    Cardis are a must have layering piece for fall. Most of them seem to be the irregular or shark tooth design which I love but you can only take so much irregular hems. Which is why I love plus size designer Anna Scholz’s Silk Cotton Draw String Cardi. It has a convertible look allowing you…

  1. I have ordered a couple of plus size custom shirts from Cafe Press before, including one that just arrived yesterday. My only complaint is that the shirts do run a little small, and short in the torso. The quality is great though. I ordered the biggest size, 5x, and while the “width” is fine, even a little big, it feels very short, but I am 5’10 and have a long torso.

    1. Actually, now that you mention it, the last ones I ordered did seem short; although my husband’s (normal sizes) seemed to be the right length. I wonder if this was in response to the shirts being too long. LOL I remember there was a time I used to be able to pull them down past my hips which looked funny when worn untucked. That would be a good fit feature to email them about.
