I absolutely love that Zazzle is size inclusive with this option, and I have ordered and enjoyed a plus size T-shirt from this line. 

That being said, it bums me out that the cover for this is just a flat lay photo of the shirt, especially when all of the other adult shirt products have pictures. It’s honestly a bit insulting. 😞

It makes it feel a bit like the shirt is there to check off a box and not really because it is important to Zazzle to build this feeling of acceptance, which is what I was really hoping for as a customer and seller.

Thank you for your consideration.

Agreed. There should be a plus size model for the plus size shirts. I have used PlaceIt for cover photos and they do have plus sized models.

While we're bringing up lack of representation, I wish we had 50+ t shirt models for all those t shirts that have text meant for grandparents. I also use PlaceIt for 50+ models.

Not sure I can kudo that reply, but yes! Some older models would be fabulous. That’s a huge demographic as well that’s MIA. 

I may need to message you regarding place it. There are just so many things to subscribe to in order to do this business well. 

Fortunately I did receive a payout this time! lol

It was so nice to have the variety of models from the early years ,,, grand parents, ethnicities, etc.

Thanks for the interim suggestion too @KeegansCreation . Great idea to utilize The Cover Photo/ Media Manager here!

@James , thank you so much for your reply. I have a follow-up question: I went to create a plus size shirt today and now can't find it at all . . . Is it possible changes are being made? My goal was definitely not for it to disappear! I already ordered one and was planning on getting more. lol

Thanks, 

Amanda

@James , hello! I was wondering if there might be any forward progress on more diverse model options for size and age as the busy holiday shopping season approaches. I've been designing on plus size shirts, and they look really weird as the only adult or even kid sized clothes with no model. 

(I have avoided using non-Zazzle photos because I want to make sure I truly represent the product cut/etc, but I may resort to that soon if needed.)

Thanks again for being a voice for us!
