Women's Tee Shirts - More Color Choices and/or Female Models for Basic T-Shirts, Please!

[rebeccaheartsny]

Would it be possible to add some additional tee shirt color choices for women? The "Women's Basic T-Shirt" only comes in white, pink, grey, red, black, and blue, with only three of these (black, red, royal blue) available for vivid printing. In theory the Bella + Canvas style offers a wide range of color choices, but nearly all of them have been out of stock for months, and the colors that aren't are basically the same options (grey, white, red, black, blue, pink) offered in the Women's Basic T-Shirt. This is such a limited range, and colors like bright red and royal blue don't work well with a lot of designs.

I've been using the unisex "Basic T-Shirt" instead, as it comes in more colors. Unfortunately, there is only one merchandising photo showing a female model, and she is paired with a male model. The new collections setup includes tee shirts as a "recommended product" for bridal showers or bachelorette parties; it's incredibly awkward to show, say, a "bride to be" design on a male model.

I would love to see more color choices for women's shirts, or at the very least, a woman modeling the unisex shirt (without a man in the photo). It would also be great to have a maternity tee shirt option and/or a model showing how the Basic T-Shirt fits a pregnant woman (if it even fits at all?) The baby shower collections suggest adding a "mommy to be" shirt, so it's frustrating that there isn't actually a product suitable for this type of design.

I agree. I design a lot of stuff for the unisex one and the default category is always mens t-shirts. Even though they are the t-shirt that fits like an actual t-shirt. Not some tiny juniors cut like that Bella brand. They need to emphasize that it is unsex way more.

We used to have more choices in models: Senior Man and Woman, Pregnant female, ethnic choices, etc.

We DEFINITELY NEED a unisex choice. Most of my T-s are for either sex.

There definitely used to be a maternity tee shirt option as well. At some point that style was phased out, and all of my maternity designs migrated to basic shirts. If tee shirts are going to be a recommended product for baby shower collections, there really needs to be a pregnant model. I can't see anyone buying a standard-size shirt without knowing if it will fit, plus it just looks odd to show a maternity design on a not-visibly-pregnant model.

I have quite a few retirement designs, so I love the idea of more mature models as well! (It always seems kind of silly putting these on models who are clearly in their 20s/30s!) It would also be great to have some teen/young adult/university-age choices; the child models are definitely children, but the adult models are too grown up for, say, a teen birthday party or a high school-themed design.

They removed a lot of the choices on the basis that customers would find it confusing, but all it really means is there's less choice than other PODs. The selection for children and babies was really hard hit, with babies having no bright colours available. It'd be nice to see more clothes again. Both colours and types.

Agree with more options for babies. I used to sell so many of the baby body suits, because they came in a range of choices that I could theme for holidays, or to fit my illustrations. Now it's just black and grey (which aren't particularly cute for babies, in my opinion) and pale pink/blue, which don't work for a lot of designs. I'd love to see red, purple, yellow, royal blue, kelly green, and other bright, kid-appropriate choices.

I agree that the limited color choices are making Zazzle less competitive - especially now that so many etsy sellers are adding personalization to their t-shirts. They link to printify and have so many more color options than we do.

I can't hit LIKE enough for this. Thank you. Also why are the V-neck shirts all abnormally tiny for most people and twice the price they should be? Base is identical. I can't buy a style I prefer from my own store.
