This may be a fine place to order some unique shirts… but there's lots to be leery of. Since they outsource the printing, you likely won't get the same quality and fitment from order to order. Huge question mark on every order. Expect all their merchandise to be that way. The need to create some quality standards. If your an artist thinking this could be a positive way to generate a revenue, think twice. They don't moderate their artwork, so any other submitting artist can flag your one-of-a-kind design and claim copyright infringement. They will instantly pull down your design and delete your account. No review. No trial. No real opportunity to justify and prove your art is yours. Basically, it's like high school all over again with the competition trying to sabotage your work so they can get a greater exposure, thus market share. Long story short, you're best to take your business and designs elsewhere.

I assume they will shrink eventually but I usually wash mine in cold water & let them hang dry. I usually order them a couple sizes bigger than I need to because I wash them frequently & they will fit me for a longer period.

Order like 3 to 4 sizes larger. They are crap quality and are junk but run small to top it off. I ordered a 3xl they sent me a 2xl and the 2xl is the size of a large.

The item I ordered arrived fairly small, I would go for a bigger size when ordering. Not sure about shrinkage, as it's a gift, and I haven't washed it.

Mine didn't shrink anymore than an average cotton t-shirt. I wear a XXL and after washing it still fits great.

No not at all, I hang dry. Sizes are very much true to size. I don't like tight fitting so I ordered a medium-fits perfect I am 5'1 98 lbs

I would definitely order a larger size. They are 100% cotton.

I orderd two shirts and they run a little smaller than expected but I'm small framed anyway so it won't make a difference for me. I would, however, recommend ordering a size up to compensate for shrinkage.
