Couple Shirt Design

There are times when a couple wants marching shirts. No, not marching in the casual sense of the word, where the shirts only march in color; but rather marching in the strictest sense of the word: where the shirts march in color, design and make. And it is around this need that some firms have come up, specifically offering couple's shirt design as their core service.

What is worth noting regarding couple's shirt design, though, is that it is not just about making two shirts that look alike. Rather, it is about tailoring the shirts to the unique needs of the two members of the couple, keeping in mind that a man's shirt would look awkward on a woman, just as a woman's shirt would look rather awkward on a man; mainly due to 'chest structure.' So couple's shirt design is more than just making two similar shirts, and then giving one each to the members of the couple.

In fact, couple's shirt design is quite an intricate art.

Yet the way the couple's shirt design concept works -at least as at the point of sale - is quite easy to understand. Generally, the couple will typically o to the firm offering the couple's shirt design service with a design idea that they want brought into reality; or alternatively, they could go have the designers at the firm suggest a design for them if they are barren of ideas. There is nothing to be ashamed about being barren of idea, as you shop for couple's shirt design. Indeed, talking to many of the practitioners in this field, it emerges that a majority of their clients tend to be in the second category: that is, those who ask them for design ideas. The design ideas in question are with regard to both how the shirts are to be sewn, as well as the color scheme that is to be employed on them - among other similar details. The design is not just aesthetic. It is also guided by utilitarian issues; especially where one wants practical shirts they can use on a day to day basis.

Once the selection has been done (with regard to the design aspect), measurements are taken - for both members of the couple who want shirts designed for them. Of course, if they already know their measurements - and are sure that those measurements have not changed since they took them, then they can just give them to the designer, rather than having the designer take new measurements.

Most couple's shirts designers insist on having a deposit paid before they can start the actual (cutting and sewing) work. There are even some who won't start work till they have been paid in full. Of course, only those who are on top of the field can afford to make such demands on their customers. Upcoming couple's shirt designers will typically be willing to start work once they are commissioned; only requiring payment once they have completed their work to their customers' satisfaction. But seeing the circumstances of the job, many people do tend to see the need to give these artists something before they start work; even if it is not one of the things the designers explicitly ask for.
