Custom Dresses With Your Photo or Design

A custom dress here is a dress printed with your own photo, pattern or artwork, for a dance costume, a birthday or party outfit, a team or event look, or a print you designed yourself.

The dresses are the All-Over Print Women's Skater Dress, the All-Over Print Long Sleeve Dress, the Women's Sleeveless Knee-Length Dress, the Women's All-Over Print Hoodie Dress, the All-Over Print Tagless T-Shirt Dress and the All-Over Print Racerback Dress, and the All-Over Print Girls' A-Line Dress is the one for children. The all-over print styles carry the design across the whole garment, sides and seams included, rather than in a patch on the front, so a repeating pattern or a full scene reaches every panel. Prices run NZ$43.65–NZ$76.41 depending on the style. Upload a photo, a repeating pattern or a logo; we set it on the dress you picked and email you a proof, and nothing is made until you approve it.

Skater, knee-length, hoodie, T-shirt, long sleeve and racerback dresses

The All-Over Print Women's Skater Dress is the fit-and-flare shape, and the Women's Sleeveless Knee-Length Dress stops at the knee with no sleeves. The All-Over Print Tagless T-Shirt Dress and the Women's All-Over Print Hoodie Dress take the cut of a tee and a hoodie down to dress length. The All-Over Print Long Sleeve Dress covers the arms, for cooler days or a stage costume, and the All-Over Print Racerback Dress has the racerback cut.

On the all-over print styles the fabric is printed flat, then cut into panels and sewn, so the design has no edge where it stops. Two things follow. Placement drifts a little from panel to panel, so keep a face or a line of lettering in the middle of a panel rather than across a seam, cuff or neckline. And the colours are printed onto white fabric, so they land slightly lighter than on screen, deep black most of all. The guide to designing a print that covers a whole garment shows the safe area and the bleed, and the guide to printing dye into fabric explains why light colours read truest.

A dress for girls, and outfits to match

The All-Over Print Girls' A-Line Dress is narrow at the shoulders and widens toward the hem, printed across the whole dress like the women's styles. Put one pattern on it and on one of the women's dresses for a matching pair.

For the tops these dresses borrow their cut from, see custom t-shirts and custom hoodies. For summer there are custom swimwear styles, a printed custom scarf finishes an outfit, and a dance troupe or team dressing everyone in the same design starts at bulk and group orders.

Custom Dresses With Your Photo or Design — common questions

Will my design line up across the seams of a printed dress?
Not exactly. The fabric is printed flat, then cut into panels and sewn, and each step moves the design slightly, so a line or a face that crosses a seam may not meet on the other side. A repeating pattern hides the drift; a single photo or a name belongs in the middle of a panel, as the whole-garment printing guide linked above shows.
Is there a custom dress for a girl?
Yes, the All-Over Print Girls' A-Line Dress, printed across the whole dress in the same way as the women's styles. Putting one pattern on it and on one of the women's dresses gives a matching pair.
Which dress suits a dance costume?
The All-Over Print Long Sleeve Dress. It covers the arms and carries the print across the whole dress, so a troupe's colours or a stage pattern reach every panel. A whole troupe in one design starts on the bulk and group orders page linked above.
Why does black look lighter on a printed dress than on my screen?
The all-over print dresses are white fabric with your colours printed onto it, and a little of that white always shows through, so every colour lands a shade lighter and deep black reads close to charcoal. If a true black matters, judge it on the proof and design with that softening in mind.
Which custom dresses are sleeveless?
The Women's Sleeveless Knee-Length Dress, which stops at the knee, and the All-Over Print Racerback Dress, cut with the narrow racerback. For covered arms, the All-Over Print Long Sleeve Dress and the Women's All-Over Print Hoodie Dress are the ones to choose.
What does tagless mean on the T-shirt dress?
The All-Over Print Tagless T-Shirt Dress has no sewn-in label at the neck. Otherwise it is cut like a tee lengthened into a dress and printed across the whole garment, so a pattern runs from the neckline to the hem.
