Where to buy personalised dressing gowsn/t-shirts etc.?

Purple Pixie, 5 April, 2012 at 08:58 Posted on Planning 0 7

I'd love to get some dressing gowns or tops for me and the girls to wear whilst we're getting ready but I'm struggling to find any. All the places I've looked have only gone up to a size 18 (maximum) and both mums and two of my bridesmaids need bigger than that.

I had thought about buying the clothing separately and then getting them personalised but I can't find a good place that will let you do that.

My mum has found some slippers that can be personalised which would fit everybody so that is a back up option.

Thanks, PP x

    Depending on what sizes you need I got my mum one off ebay and got an L/XL which was an 18, it was fairly roomy. You could always message some of those ebay sellers on the off chance? The item number was **** and the seller was very nice and helpful.

    I just did a quick ebay search and there are some which go up to larger sizes (I tried size 20 as an example search but there are some which go up to 30) and can be personalised.

    If that one hadn't have fit my mum I was going to have to buy a plus size robe somewhere and then do an iron on transfer or fabric pens myself.

    I did a quick google search for 'personalised plus size' and up popped zazzle, vistaprint and this place:

    I have used zazzle myself and it was very good quality, vistaprint likewise.

    I usually just buy plain t-shirts from Asda or Sainsburys and buy the diamonte names / letters etc from Ebay and iron them on myself. Usually works out about £3 per item.

    Mrs Smith Designs is advertising in the Bristol area as doing personalised clothing, but are web based so would supply anyone I guess, and their tshirts go up to a size 22. Pleased i found them as that was an issue I was finding with a lot of suppliers and wanted it done professionally.

    Quite an interesting idea too that they add images with the text or instead of your text to match your wedding theme. My wedding theme is butterflies so I'm adding a butterfly to my Bride tshirt.

    Hope this helps someone,

    My OH has used CafePress before and we weren't very impressed, he bought a printed t-shirt and the print had moved during the process and ended up looking 3D! When we spoke to them about it their customer service wasn't very good.

    It’s such a thoughtful idea to have matching dressing gowns or tops for you and your bridal party to wear while getting ready! If you're struggling to find something in larger sizes, a great option is to use best print on demand services . These services allow you to buy clothing separately, such as robes or tops in a variety of sizes, and then have them personalized with names or fun phrases. Websites like Printful or Teespring offer customizable options with no size restrictions, so you can choose styles that suit everyone comfortably. This way, you can get the perfect fit for all your bridesmaids and mums and still add the personal touch you were hoping for. If the slippers are a good backup, they’d make a nice addition to your gift as well!
