Printed t-shirts with slogans like ‘I don’t do Cupcakes’ are becoming more popular with women who want to show they have a sense of humour about motherhood. There are many blogs and websites online geared toward moms, so selling t-shirts and other items to targets groups like this one is not difficult.“People are jumping on this trend. It's easy to make a T-shirt and market it. The audience is out there, and there are blogs like ours that are willing to write them up," Beth Feldman, PR executive and mom from New Rochelle, New York, USA. “Women who can relate to what we're all going through are going to laugh when they see the shirts. You don't want to take yourself too seriously,” she said.
Printing one’s feelings on a t-shirt is not a new concept. Each social group can create printed t-shirts to tell world how they feel about topics that are important to them. “Moms today want to celebrate their motherhood and be identified as such,” said senior director of research and trends at the Intelligence Group, Kristin Bennett.
Even celebrity mothers have been seen wearing mom-inspired t-shirts including Gwyenth Paltrow and Salma Hayek. “Much of our day-in and day-out tasks, like chauffeuring, or scheduling play dates, seem absurd, but at the same time, necessary, so why not laugh about it," said Eileen Schneidman, a cofounder of Planet Mom T-shirts.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
Delighted with the results. Very popular so repeat orders very likely.
great service, no problems at all
