Sizing as a gift

Sweatshirts are forgiving; go one size up for the oversized look most people want. For tees, check the label of something she wears and use the size chart.

Making it

One sentence: "the word Mama in retro script with three small wildflowers labelled Ava, Leo and Sam, terracotta and sage, no background". The Wearlie designer makes it; order on a tee, sweatshirt or hoodie. No minimum. For the gift version see Mother's Day shirts.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a personalised mom shirt?

About $36 for a tee, $38 for a sweatshirt and $48 for a hoodie, shipping included.

Can I add a new baby's name later?

It means a new shirt, but with no minimum a single reorder is easy.

Which is the better gift, tee or sweatshirt?

Sweatshirt. It gets worn more and the print sits flatter.
