I don't mind doing that with a dress, for example, but I do wonder about a tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42694 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:48:26 +0000 Laura 42694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, great idea - I don't have an artistic bone in my body (other than the writing kind). Who wants to design something? We have so much talent on this forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42686 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 06:57:57 +0000 judy 42686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a gorgeous t shirt! </p> <p>I just want to encourage some of you to rethink the whole "I'd never pay that much for a t shirt" or "those jeans are out of my price range"...because if you end up say, buying two or three t shirts, or even four, from say U.O. and the Gap and then J Crew and then even Target, you've still spent probably 88.00 dollars and you've got some ok shirts, but wouldn't you rather spend the 88 on one FABULOUS one? Same with jeans, one incredible pair is worth two or three just ok ones. It's something I continue to try to get my head around these days and do more often. In the end I think I will have more things I really love rather than what I've kind of settled for. The hard part for me is that it does mean buying less items, and really, shopping less, as in less times, and for a lot of us shopping is a major pastime. It will leave a lot more empty time :). But just think, if you get that marc jacobs t shirt, you'll save a whole lot of trips to the all those other stores! And think how neat our closets will be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42675 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 04:56:56 +0000 BLB 42675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, what a great idea!</p> <p>I own two "arty tees." I should photograph and post them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42651 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 04:12:22 +0000 Nicole 42651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a YLF arty tee?</p> <p>I googled around and there ARE companies that let you design your own silk screen and order tees. This place <a href="http://www.youdesignit.com/?gclid=CIW80_zOgJgCFQu-GgodkVhxDw" rel="nofollow">http://www.youdesignit.com/?gc.....GgodkVhxDw</a> has as low as 6 piece minimum!</p> <p>Only problem is we have so many artistic women on this site--how could we ever pick just one design? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42645 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 04:02:55 +0000 Maya 42645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patience, I was replying to Nicole's comment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42641 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:58:08 +0000 Patience 42641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, Maya, I meant there are silk screened t's for sale on etsy.

My silkscreening class was for credit. It cost upwards of $300 in supplies. Frankly I'd rather just buy the MJ shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42631 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:48:35 +0000 Patience 42631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As far as silk screening goes-- have you looked on etsy? I bought one last year-- now that I think about it, it is an arty t and it was reasonably priced. Nicole, I'm with you on the $88 for a t. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42630 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:48:11 +0000 Anonymous 42630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm going to like this look.<br /> Patience, the BCBG tuxedo blazer you are looking at may be just the ticket for this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42627 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:40:05 +0000 Angie 42627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Fabulous arty T's - all of them. I’d pop my dressiest blazers over them with pearls. I used to do that look a lot about 3-4 years ago. Perhaps I should write a post about this look. Do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42626 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:39:31 +0000 Angie 42626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!

We made them in art class. Every student drew an image and we voted on 5 finalists. Each student then got to pick which of the five images they wanted and do their own silkscreen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42620 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:25:22 +0000 Maya 42620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, the cost of silkscreening something yourself is going to be far more expensive than that MJ tee. It's only worth it if you're doing multiples and planning to sell them. I'm not even sure how you would do it without a silkscreen studio. I guess there are places where you could get it made but I am unaware of them.</p> <p>I found it very difficult personally. I could never get the glue on in an even coat and my screen was ALWAYS clogged no matter how much I blasted it. Eventually I blasted a hole through it and had to have it patched. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42615 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:19:38 +0000 Nicole 42615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK can I just say how releived I am when I saw you guys commenting on the price of the tee. Because when I opened the link in the OP, I was disgusted by the price and the likelihood of how much the materials cost to make it, and how little the worker was paid to sew it.</p> <p>Why not make your own? I remember doing silk screening in junior highschool. It wasn't that difficult, pretty fun, and very messy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42609 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:14:31 +0000 Maya 42609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a graphic T is anything with a graphic on it, which doesn't preclude these types of t-shirt. I just think it excludes things like logos, slogans, Bugs Bunny tees, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42607 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:13:29 +0000 Laura 42607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you Maya. You will never catch me paying that much for a tee!</p> <p>However, I am not above stalking it :)</p> <p>I am going to check out your choices too. I love UO.</p> <p>Tanya, I admired that tee when it came out this fall. So pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42605 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:13:00 +0000 Patience 42605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm starting to understand what an "arty t" is. I guess this means that it's definitely different from a graphic t? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/example-of-an-arty-t-shirt#post-42602 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:10:30 +0000 Maya 42602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much as I also love MJ, $88 for a tee is criminal to me.
