When my husband and I were skiing in Stowe Vermont this year we stopped at a t shirt shop. My husband wanted to get a Stowe t shirt. Much to our amazement this was a customized t shirt shop.
The way the shirts were customized was that first you chose the t shirt. They had dozens of colors and of course sizes from XS to XL, different fashion cuts such as sleeveless or v-neck, adults and childrens.
After my husband chose the t shirt style and color he wanted he then had his choice of hundreds of decals. Some of the t shirts displayed in the shop showed a combination of two or more decals to make a completely customized t shirt.
We thought that this was a great idea. If the reason you visited Stowe was to ski you could have ski decals placed on the shirt. If you were there and were a nature lover they had dozens of nature logos, and so on. They could even customized t shirts with your name or any other personalization you may want.
Custom t shirts have become the "in" thing with the wedding crowd. When my friend recently got married she had a customized t shirt for each of her bridesmaids and groom attendants. They had a custom t shirt logo on the front and on the back was the person's status such as "maid of honor", "best man", "bridesmaid", "usher", "flower girl". It was quite a hit. The custom t shirts coordinated with the wedding colors and the print was almost exactly the print used on the invitation. The picture of the bride and groom used on the front of the custom t shirt was the one used on the front of the invitation, talk about coordinated!
Today it's easier then ever to create a customized t shirt. You can choose the type of t shirt you want, color, logo, lettering all on line. Gone are the days when you needed an order of 100 or 200 t shirts. Today it's not uncommon for small orders of 24 or so to be made.

Seeing these "undressed" dress forms made me ponder a bit about fashion. I thought about Bravo's hit series Project Runway and how each individual would have taken this blank canvas and created something entirely different. Wikipedia says a...
