T恤或称之为＂t-shirts＂或＂tee＂的来历
If you go out on the stores or walk around the streets of your neighborhood, you will definitely see people wearing a shirt. One very popular type of shirt is the T-shirt and its name is derived from its shape and appearance.
It is also commonly referred to as a “tee” but people generally call it a shirt even though there are different types of shirts available in the market today. If you notice, these tees do not have buttons and they also do not have collars in them.
The neck style is usually rounded but there are also variations wherein the neck area takes on a V- shape or a deeper U- shape as well. The most typical shirts are made of cotton and this is the reason why they are very comfortable. Tees usually have short sleeves and when they are not worn, the sleeves project to the side forming a letter “T”.
In the past, these tees were actually worn as undergarments. Although shirts are still worn under regular clothing today, there are already a lot of shirts that are worn as an external piece of clothing. There are a lot of companies that use tees to advertise their brand. You will be able to see the name of the brand printed right across the front or the back of the shirt.
Modern day printing techniques also became very popular which contributed to the statement shirt trends. You may have seen a Tshirt in the street where a quote, a saying or a joke is printed in the front. Aside from statement tees, these shirts have also become an outlet for people to express themselves. Different art techniques have been used to design many tees including tie- dyes, photo paper transfers and silk screen printing. All of these methods provide different looks to the shirt and many businesses have already set up to create these creations. Silk screen shirt printing is extremely popular especially in schools and organizations because they get to customize the print for the shirts according to their liking.
You can definitely design your own Tshirt if you want to without spending a lot of money. Shirt printing companies often have a minimum number of shirt orders before they can process your design and this could cost a lot of money. If you just want to express your own style and design, you can just go to the nearest craft store and purchase some fabric paint. Fabric paints are those that will stick and dry well in textile without damaging your shirt. The paint will also stay on the cloth even if you wash your shirt in the washing machine. There are a variety of colors available and you can even buy them in small jars if you just want to experiment.
You can even involve your kids in this project. You need to a get a plain cotton shirt to begin this project. Place layers of newspaper inside the shirt so that the paint will not blot to the back side of it. Plan your design or you can do an abstract painting. For the kids, you can even put the paint on their palms and feet so that they can stamp them onto the Tshirt. After painting, allow it to dry before washing it. This step is necessary to make sure that the paint does not come off or spread. But surely, you will definitely be able to find the perfect style, design and size of shirt for your body type because almost all retail clothing stores are already offering tees to their customers.
