Ugh, I need a new computer. That wording almost looks brown on my screen.

It is a little more brown; I changed to the font that cheshiregirl said and it looks better.

Oh ok, so I'll put my hammer away and not smash the heck out of my screen.

So what font are we going with? Park Avenue or Melanie? I think Park Avenue looks closer to the original, but I kind of like Melanie better.

I'm using my Wii which uses sony bravia tv screen as a monitor, and it looks brown/tan on mine also, but that shirt is too cute. I love the park ave font, and baby doll style tee.

I agree - I guess it just depends how many people are going to do it by ordering and how many are doing it by transfer. If there are alot doing the transfer I suppose we should go with the one closest to the original but if most of us are ordering them then I like Melanie. What does everyone think?

Oh, and what do people think about the ringer tee? I like it best of the styles but if everyone else is doing just the plain white then I suppose I should try to find one of those styles that would fit. Any opinions?

Did we decide on color 999933? Font 8?

 

[sahbushka]

OK, I just checked out Zazzle. Looks like it's $13 and change for the shirt with the discount and then another $6 for shipping for a total of just about $20. I think that the sale ends Jan 6.

I was looking at the Park Avenue font sized 8 (bigger wouldn't fit on the shirt) - baby doll shirt, ordered one size up for classic fit. And color of font --kind of a brownish green/khaki. Looks like a good deal and I would reallly like to not have the hassle of making this myself. Me and ironing: not a good match.

What are others looking to get?

What discount? What am I missing here?

What about the font Melanie? I kind of like that one, too. Cheryl, I moved my picture up and the wording down to get them to both fit. And the color I used for the font is in the 4th row from the bottom, 2nd from the right, with the hex code 996600. I also used 11 as the font size.

I like Melanie too. The other ones are a little fancier and they look nice, but I think the DIS is hard to read because the I is so fancy. With Melanie it seems easier to read that part.

Also, I tried the font color that is 4 up and 4 in from the right and it makes it look less brown and more green. When you zoom in it seems to match the outline of the tink better. I used a 10 size font. If I can figure out how to attach the pic I will but I am pic posting challenged.

This is number 666600 color. It does make the color just a bit darker and easier to read from a distance.

Maybe we need a poll to figure out which color and which font to use! Anyone, Anyone?

 

[kelmac284]

You guys just decide and let me know and I will order it. As you know I had my disaster earlier LOL. So if you can decide before the 6th that would be great cuz I would LOVE to get the discount! I am going with a long sleeve though cuz no offense but the first week of March I think may still be chilly. And I am always cold. I found a long sleeve fitted T that I thought was cute. So that was what I was going to order. But anyway whatever font etc you guys decide just let me know and I will order it.

They all look great to me but I agree the green is better than the brown as far as matching the orig.

I'll look forward to hearing whatever you guys decide.

Well, I can post one if we want, but so far it seems that everyone is ok with the Melanie font. We just need a color.

Kelly,

I had the same thought about March. I was actually thinking about getting one long-sleeved and one short-sleeved, just in case. You can never know how the weather will be that time of year. Same in the fall. We went the end of October and I was hoping for cool weather and it was 100 degrees!! Hotter than it was here in Vegas!

I think this color is pretty good. If I found it correctly, it's hex# 666600. And size 10 font works well. Oh, and I like the shirt style, too. The baby doll style is real cute on the model, but I wonder how well it will hide any tummy/back imperfections.

I really like that color. It seems to go well with the image and is easy to read.

Some of those tees say to order up by two sizes! They must run really small.

I noticed that too. The weird thing is some of the larger sizes, for example 2x, in some styles was actually smaller than an XL in other styles. So I looked at the measurements instead. The one in the picture I posted is actually a "ladies casual scoop" and not the baby doll. It is similar in style but is a looser cut and had a larger chest width. The chest is an issue for me, and some of those shirts would have been much too small for "the girls" even in the larger sizes.
