The same flower is stitched on a solid shirt and on a striped shirt. The cloth changes the look.
The straight answer
The black sunflower plain shirt and the white sunflower plain shirt keep the flower as the only pattern. The Sunflower striped shirt puts that flower on a stripe.
Choose the plain shirt if you want the embroidery to read first. Choose the stripe if you want the cloth to do more of the work. Both are stitched, not printed.
Plain shirts are gathered in plain embroidered shirts. The striped sunflower sits with the Daisy striped shirt in striped embroidered shirts.
If you want the flower in a thread colour we do not already sell, send the shirt you like and the colour you want. That is a custom recolour, not a button on the product page.
A shirt is allowed to be a shirt
Plain shirts are a solid colour with the stitch on top. Stripes already give the cloth some movement, so a smaller mark usually sits more cleanly than a large one fighting the lines. If you want the embroidery to be the only pattern, take the plain shirt. If you want the cloth to do more of the work, take the stripe. Both are stitched, not printed.
Use the shirt chart. A person who wears M in an oversized tee often still takes their usual shirt size here. An oversized-tee fit on a shirt can look borrowed. Iron around the motif if the collar needs a press. Most tees do not need a sharp crease. A shirt with a collar is the one people actually iron.
The flower, the bee, the evil eye: those are ready designs. If you want the same flower in a thread colour we do not already sell, that is a custom recolour, not a button on the product page. Send the shirt you like and the colour you want.
You can just buy the one in the photo
The animal, the travel scene, the Hanuman tee, the bee, the sunflower: those are finished. The stitch is already there. You choose a size and check out. You do not have to design anything. If your size is gone on one tee, look at the next one before you wait. A restock is not a promise until the piece is actually back.
The animal tees share the oversized cut, so the size you take in the tiger is the size you take in the wolf. The travel tees are the same cloth and the same loose shape, with a place or a road instead of a creature. The Hanuman tee lives with the other devotional pieces. It is not a custom order unless you want a different figure or a line of text under the motif.
If you want the ready tiger redrawn in your colours, that becomes a custom job. Recolouring is not a checkout option. And if you want your own city instead of the travel drawings we already stitched, send the reference. We will say if the lines are thick enough to stitch.
Thread has a height. Ink does not
Run a finger across a finished chest. Embroidery stands up. A print sits on the surface. A thick print can crack and flake after enough washes. Thread goes through the cotton, so it does not peel off in a sheet. It can still fuzz if you scrub it or dry it on high heat for years. Normal washing keeps it looking like the photo.
Thread cannot copy a photograph, a long sentence in hairline letters, or a dozen shades that are almost the same. A logo, an animal, a flower, or a short name is what stitch is good at. A screen colour and a thread colour are close, not identical. If two colours in the file are nearly twins, they can blend once they are stitched. We flag that before any thread goes in.
The back of the stitch is flatter than the front. Most people stop noticing it once the shirt is on, because the design sits on the chest or the sleeve and not on a tight spot. A very dense design feels more raised. If your skin is fussy, say so and we will keep the mark off places that rub. Iron the cloth, not the stitches. A hot iron straight on the design flattens it.
If you are still on the fence
Come back to the first lines. The same flower is stitched on a solid shirt and on a striped shirt. The cloth changes the look. If that matches the shirt in your head, use the links above and either check out or send the file. If it does not, the other guides under this post are the next place to look.
