Designing Your Shirt
To
begin with, the shirt designing website
is pretty sleek and easy to navigate, which is a huge boon right
away—you don't want your confidence in the process diminished by
some sloppy U.I. or any sense of confusion in ordering. You begin by
selecting a fabric from the dozens and dozens of available swaths,
which cover a fairly predictable, though certainly appealing,
spectrum of colors and patterns. I went with the company's most
popular line, the Lynnfield 13, which is a thinly striped blue and
white fabric that looked deep and sumptuous online.
Next
you hit the design options. The Shirts My Way ordering system
endeavors to make this part of the process as straightforward, and
therefore as painless, as possible, though I admit I found the sheer
number of choices a little overwhelming. Choosing between collar
styles—buttoned, cutaway, longpoint, etc.—is easy enough, because
I already had that in mind. Likewise for whether I wanted French
cuffs or buttons.
But
then things get very, very specific. Did I want a plain yoke, or a
split? Center pleats or side? A seamless placket or standard or
concealed? Then there's the smaller particulars: What color buttons
did I want? What color button holes?
These are details that, frankly, I never thought much about before,
and the pressure of choosing the right detail in each category was a
little much. Still, the choice is yours, and people who are very
particular about their shirt designs will surely be pleased that they
have so many options.
Sizing Your Shirt
Here's
the tricky part. Getting your size recorded accurately is the most
significant part of the ordering process, and Shirts My Way does a
good job impressing this fact upon you. You have three options for
sizing with varying degrees of difficulty. The first, and simplest,
is to simply choose from a standard run of sizes—a good option if
you fit well into off-the-rack sizes ordinarily and simply want to
customize the look of your shirt. If you're feeling more adventurous
and would like to be thorough, you can whip out a measuring tape and,
with the help of a friend or partner, measure yourself exhaustively
and record the details via an online tracker. You put in collar,
chest, waist, hips, length, back, sleeve, armpit, bicep and cuff—a
lot of work, but I actually found this part of the process quite fun,
almost like visiting a tailor at home.
The
only problem is that you are not a tailor.Leave that problem, Today shirts are designed through the online websites then the tailor design the shirt of the customer opinion.To design a shirt designing website one should use the Custom Tailoring site Script .
I had my partner help me
out with the measurements, but they didn't come out correctly—our
fault, I'm sure, but it's worth mentioning that I had enough
difficulty with this step that, had the numbers I entered gone on to
be made, my shirt wouldn't have fit right at all. Thankfully, the
system has an alternative method of customization: you can measure a
well-fitting shirt and have your design made based on those
measurements. This produces a slightly more generic sizing than what
you'd get with your body's exact numbers, but it's far easier and
safer to do it this way—and if you know that you have at least one
well-fitting shirt, the results will fit great. This is how I
ultimately did it and it was pretty smooth sailing.
