Blank 18 inch doll short sleeve ruffle tee for embroidery: 6+ oz 100% cotton interlock, nine colors, velcro back, and it ships same or next business day. It's the doll blank we ship more of than any other — over 20,000 of these have left our Attalla, Alabama warehouse.
The back opens on velcro, so the tee lies flat in the hoop instead of fighting you the way a sewn-shut doll shirt does. Between the crew neck and the single gathered ruffle at the hem, the front is plain interlock with no seam or placket, and that is where a monogram, a name or a small applique lands. The short sleeves are puffed caps gathered at the shoulder. It takes embroidery, applique, HTV and DTF; it won't take sublimation, because 100% cotton has no polyester for the ink to bond to.
Four of the nine colors sit in the pink and red family: Light Pink, Pink, Hot Pink and Red. White is the color searched most often on this one, usually for a classic monogram. Aqua, Ice Blue and Lavender handle spring, and Brown rounds the set out. All nine also exist on the girl's short sleeve ruffle tee, which carries 28 colors, so a birthday girl and her 18 inch doll end up in the same shade.
When an order calls for long sleeves, the long sleeve doll ruffle tee runs 16 colors and carries the deeper school and team shades — Navy, Black, Kelly Green, Peacock — that this one doesn't. A dress version of the same silhouette is the doll puff sleeve ruffle dress. The rest of our clothes for 18 inch dolls sits on the doll blanks page. There's no minimum, so one doll t-shirt to test a design is a normal order here.
