Whether you are laying on your sofa trying to entertain a toddler while trying not to throw up (too graphic? Um... I've been there!) or about ready to pop with child #3 (been there, too!), you remember that you might need a Big Brother or Big Sister shirt for that cute little kiddo you already have! These shirts are a very popular way to announce your family is expanding and they are also great to have for pictures with the big sis/ bro meets the new baby!
I always recommend ordering a size larger just in case (depending on the cut of the shirt). It is also a great idea to get a size larger if you think they will wear to announce your pregnancy and ALSO at the new baby's birth! Another hint is to order a short sleeved shirt to cover all seasons (if you announce in December, but have a baby in August, you can always add a shirt under the short sleeves in December- because you've ordered larger it will still fit- and then you'll have the right length in August). Can you tell I'm a mom? I'm actually advising you order the cheaper product! ha! :) I really just want you to have something you love and will treasure.
These shirts will shrink if washed and dried. I recommend washing and laying flat to dry (and they will still shrink a little becuase they are interlock cotton, but not as if they had been dried.)
There are 3 styles of shirts available:
Girls Lettuce edge- more fitted, straight cut, lettuce trim on bottom of sleeves and shirt
Girls Frilly edge- loose, A-line cut, ruffle trim on bottom of sleeves and shirt
Boys classic cut- straight cut and slim through torso. (If your little man has a tummy, order a size larger than you think).
All are available in short or long sleeve. I keep white in stock, but colored shirts are available for $3 more. All shirt prices include applique of your choice and name.
