T-Shirts!

    I am a t-shirt person, I love slogan t-shirts, t-shirts with cool pictures on them, so on and so forth. My difficulty is, the only place that ever has cool t-shirts is the menswear (they get all the best t-shirts!) , which I am way too small to fit into. I only ever saw stuff like I'm looking for in London but they were incredibly expensive:eek:. I'm looking for things along the line of this, in a real life shop preferably (no credit card, but could get a 3v)

    So yeah, if anybody knows where sells cool tshirts in womens sizes that'd be really helpful! :)

    Have you tried topman? They do like an xxs that might fit you?

    Or try Zazzle.co.uk you'll need to get a 3v card and postage does take a while but you get great tshirts on it and you can make your own ones!

    One of the best places for slogan t shirts I've seen is

    http://threadless.com

    Some brilliant ones on it :D

    I agree with cookie jar Zazzle is great! :)

    I would try urban outfitters sometimes they have great tshirts. I got a great one there with "do the dance" and a big radio on it right around when Justice's cross had been released. I SQWEEED a bit that day! :)

    There is a shop *somewhere* in temple bar (near UO I think!) that has really cool tshirts for sale. The guy is pretty bang on too! :)

    My boyfriend got a shirt from http://www.bustedtees.com

    This is it.... http://www.bustedtees.com/silf what can I say...the boy likes sambos! :P

    EDIT: This may not be up your street (some could be considered quite offensive) but I LOVE most of the tshirts from hipsterhtler.com ...... http://hipsterhitler.com/t-shirt-store/ I'm currently hinting at a few of these for Christmas! Personal faves: I <3 Juice and 1941 a race odyssey.

    Thanks guys these are exactly what I was looking for, especially love threadless! I've looked at topman but they're quite expensive and you can tell they're boys clothes and that would mean my parents would give out to me :P

    They have a different design everyday, look through some of the old ones. They come from the US so take about 2 weeks but work out at about €14 a t-shirt and come in womens

    I get my tees at threadless exclusively, I always get comments too, always fun. Wait for the sales, one should be coming up for christmas soon, but make sure you keep the value of the tees you buy under about 40 euro or you'll get badly stung for customs.

    There's a place in St Stephens Green up on the 2nd floor that do tees too, they're reasonable enough. Not sure about styling/ cut.

    Also, try digging around in tk maxx. I got a few great tees in there before- mostly superhero ones, but a lot of their mens tees have slim cuts.

    Of course, you could go the DIY route and buy yourself some iron-on transfer sheets, print your own transfers (it is entirely up to you where you source pictures, I'm saying NOTHING) and then you can buy the tees that fit right in the womens department and get whatever you want on them. They turn out great in my experience. Great if you want something specific (like say a Button Moon retro tee or something) that you can't find.

    Didn't know about the sales, when do they start? :)

    As for the transfers, where do you get the transfers? Is it just print the picture onto the transfer and iron on? Sounds great if it works!:D:D

    There's usually about 4 a year. The christmas one tends to start just after thanksgiving. prices of the shirts can go down as low as $5, which is pretty amazing. Usually they end up around the $10-15 mark.

    Yeah, the transfer papers can be bought in easons or reads, usually in the craft sections. usually about 5 sheets for a tenner.

    Here's a link from HP with some more info: link

    you usually need a inkjet printer, but most house printers are inkjets, so you should be able to find one. You just make a word document with your pic in it or something, hit print and go by whatever instructions are on the pack and bobs your uncle. I've made a few myself, as long as you take care of the tees after (cold wash, no tumble dryer, iron inside out) they'll last yonks.

    I will keep an eye on threadless around thanksgiving, theres a few things I want but they are bit pricy, if they came down a bit it'd be great :)
    I am so going to try the transfer thing this weekend!!!:pac:

    I'm a mad tee fan, thats all i wear. I have bought a few from new company www.fizzylolly.com Quality is great and price isn't bad either. Price for womens tees are about €16 and mens € 18 and you get a fizzylolly with every Tee. They offer vouchers from time to time on their facebook page. Try www.iloveshopping.ie for a discount code for them.
    I think they will make a special for you too if you send them the Graphic.

    Threadless are great too, brill colours, designs and shirt quality is good too.
    Hairybaby - not a fan. Stuff is expensive € 30 plus delivery
    Busted Tees - also very good tees there too.

    You might laugh but I'm deadly serious.

    Pennys is great for T-Shirts with slogans. they sell the likes of stuff you'd see in Urban Outfitters but for €4-€10
