Dress United Custom T-Shirt Review

Several months back I introduced you to a great company, Easy Canvas Prints, that makes affordable custom canvas prints. Well, they are at it again! This time, through their sister site, they are providing custom t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies! At Dress United you can design your shirt any way you like with as much help as needed. You can design it using the Design Tool, choosing several Fonts and Images available or you can use your own images. They also have the option to have their design staff help you out as well. These T-Shirts are printed in the U.S.A., which is a nice added bonus! Go U.S.A.!

I had the awesome opportunity to try out the Design Tool and create a fun T-Shirt for Rural Mama's Sandbox. It was both easy and fun to come up with my own design and by the time I was finished, I couldn't wait to get wear my new creation!


Dress United has a lot of options when it comes to T-Shirt type and style. There is a little something for everyone on this site. As far as sizes go, they do have a wide variety of sizes but it is limited to certain styles. The sizes in the Unisex T-Shirts range from Youth Small to 4XL, however the shirt I chose only went from Adult Small to 2XL.

The Design Tool - starting off with a clean slate!

 Since I will be the one wearing the T-shirt I decided to go with the Girly - Classic T (Bella). I am a fan of V-necks, so this T-shirt style was a great option.I also chose size XL since sometimes Women's styles T-Shirt run on the smaller side.

Adding Text was fast and easy!

I chose Chocolate for color, since I work around the farm often and I figured it would hide dirt the best. I decided to use Dress United fonts, but inserted a photo of my own to give it a special touch and to correspond with my blog design.

Now, on to ARTWORK!

Popup that allows you to select Clip Art or Download your own images!

I love the fact that they had a wide variety of clip art available. For someone who has limited access to clip art an images, this is a great option. I decided to go with my own artwork, a couple of Embellishments from a MyMemories Suite Kit that I purchased called Wild West Pack. The artwork I chose were in PNG format and seem to work really well for the site. It came up clear and crisp.

My finished design! Sweet and Simple!

I chose to use only the front of my t-shirt, however, there is an option to put writing on the back, for those that want custom t-shirts for sports teams. I think it took me a whole 10 minutes to create this T-Shirt. The HARDEST part was waiting for it to arrive!

Without further ado, here is my finished product LIVE and in person...

Photo Courtesy of Big Sister, she was so excited I let her use my camera!

I like the fabric the T-Shirt is made out of, it is comfortable and light. The image is GREAT, the photo doesn't really show its awesomeness. but in person it is really cool. The only thing I am skeptical about is the whether or not the image will hold up to being washed and dried. Only time will tell, so I will try to do an update after several cycles through the laundry.

Overall, I was very impressed with the Dress United website and their Design Tool. It was very easy and fun to come up with a Custom T-Shirt. The actual shirt is very nice, well made, and the image is crisp, clear, and easy to read. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone looking to create a custom t-shirt whether you just want one shirt or several shirts!

Farm Updates

The fields are growing thick with grass and the weather is staying consistently warm. I am so very glad that Spring has finally decided to arrive! I know that the girls are loving it too, since we can go outside pretty regular now. They love playing outside and visiting the horses. A lot has been going on at the farm and I figured that I would give an update, since I can't remember the last time I did one.

We tore down the little red barn next to the house, it was a sad sad sight, but it had to come down before it fell down and hurt someone. The good news is that we salvaged some of the exterior red pieces of wood and decorated the office and med room in the main barn with it. It looks amazing and so rustic!

We still have several really nice horses that are looking for homes. We adopt anywhere in the US, so if you are looking for a horse to love, check out some of ours, here.

The goats are no longer coming into the house at night. They are outside 24/7, doing great, and enjoy it. The girls and I take them for walks as often as we can. They are both learning to walk on a leash, I hope to take them to a couple shows in June, but we will see if I can get them ready in time. I have no idea what I am doing so we will either rock the show or at least provide the entertainment.


Speaking of the goats, I decided to name my little hobby farm Twinkle Little Farm. Big Sister is learning Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Old McDonald and sometimes mixes up the words. She was singing one day and said "Twinkle Little Farm" and I just fell in love with it. So, because my daughters were such a big part of my decision to get goats and more specifically Nigerian Dwarf Goats, I decided that it was only right that the girls be a part of naming the farm.

My geese decided they wanted to sit on their eggs, so I let them. I wasn't sure if they would actually hatch, but I figured I would let them try. Well, Mr. Goose is fertile and all my Girly Geese are great brooders because I now have three little goslings under a heat lamp on my porch. I was afraid they would get snatched by wildlife so I decided they were safer on the porch then outside with mom. There probably should have been 6 of them, but 2 were either squished or attacked by the geese and the one egg was busted before it was baking. The girls love playing with the goslings, Little Sister is a little too rough and I really have to watch so she doesn't squeeze their little necks too hard. Big Sister is great with them and I am pretty sure they love her too, or at least think she is "Mom."

We are still working on the new house, it seems to be taking FOREVER! I never knew how hard it was to find GOOD Contractors and good construction workers. I hope and pray we are in the house by Big Sister's 4th Birthday. Most of the drywall in the new section is in, so God willing I will be choosing paint next week. Any suggestions?

Wow, if I were a super blogger, I probably would have been able to split this post into several, but that is not how I roll, hehe!

God Bless and have a wonderful day dear followers!
