Recent Etsy Birhtday shirt buyers

[mariza]

Please recommend your seller. I searched a bunch of old threads and when I checked the links most sellers are closed or on backorder. I need a birthday shirt fast for my nephew.
On a side note, I PM's Liza Jane and tried to check her website (lizajanebaby.com), but it's down unless I have the URL wrong. Anyone know if she's ok? I know there was some drama here and she stopped posting for a while, but I really hoped that would have blown over by now :(
On top of being frantic over getting a shirt, now I'm worried about Liza!

We get all our birthday shirts from Roslyn's Closet. I love them, they are soft and hold up wonderfully. She's really quick also

It looks like she has an etsy shop now too http://www.etsy.com/shop/roslynscloset

Got this one for DS2. She's fast and inexpensive. The shirt is fine. My listing was for a long-sleeved shirt but she sent short-sleeves (in early January) without asking me. She did agree to redo it but I had to buy the long-sleeved shirt as she couldn't find one. And I covered return shipping for the first shirt plus the shirt I bought (she refunded the cost of the long-sleeved shirt to me).

I know that wasn't a glowing review, but the shirt is what I ordered and she was fast, plus her feedback overall is good, so she's worth considering if this is what you want.

Not Etsy, but I noticed the other day that Janie and Jack has a "birthday boutique" as well. They have a 25% off Friends and Family sale starting on Friday.

I guess they are sold out of "2". The one I need, of course.
There are some cute ideas posted here!

a snail for a girl's first birthday? is that really the best that janie & jack could do? the boy shirts are much cuter, imo!

Ok, those are my fav listed here. But I like putting the first name on there too. I know some people DO NOT. Hmmm, decisions. OP, thanks for posting this! I need one too!

You could always convo the seller and see if they'll do a custom shirt for you. I've had great luck tweaking items I buy on Etsy.

I have ordered custom T's from these etsy sellers and was very happy with both:

Not etsy, but we recently received a birthday shirt as a present from

My DD has only worn it once, so I can't comment on the actual quality, but it appears quite nice.

I miss Liza Jane too!!!:cry:

:yeahthat: Her posts were always fun and funny. It makes me sad that it took one negative, mean-hearted poster to hurt her and scare her away. :13:

So I tried the Alchemy requests and got a few responses all were very nice, but I am a visual person and needed to see how things would look. None of the sellers had similar designs on their pages to what I had in mind. Then I started to get nervous about the time frame since my godson's party is next week. I ended up finding some that were almost ready to go and they customized for me really fast.
I got this:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=26772159
which she made and shipped out all in one day :cheerleader1: she even customized a birthday hat for me replacing the feathers you see on her site with plain ribbon and put the baby's name on it!

Then I showed it to my cousin who liked it, but worried it might be "too busy" and I really wanted her to be happy with the outfit so then I found this:
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=26770540
I left this plain figuring if she wants his name embroidered we can get it done locally. I can't wait to get them and see them in person!
Thanks for all the suggestions, I am mad at myself for not checking this thread again before ordering. I'm going to look at all of your suggestions for when I am ready to order DC's big sister/little brother shirts!
