Blank Mini Doll T-Shirts

Plain T-shirts are the least glamorous item on an outfit shelf and the ones you reach for most. This is a short-sleeve T-shirt sold as part of the Outfits group on this site, cut to the same shape as the other tops in that range, and it carries no logo or print on it. That makes it a base layer: wear it alone for a simple everyday look, put it under a hoodie, sweater or jacket, or use it as the starting point for something you decorate yourself. Because the shape is a straightforward tee, it also works as a test piece if you are trying a new way of dressing a doll.

Nine colourways are listed, all at $4.99: white no-logo T-shirt, navy no-logo T-shirt, black no-logo T-shirt, red no-logo T-shirt, yellow no-logo T-shirt, grey no-logo T-shirt, Klein blue no-logo T-shirt, light pink no-logo T-shirt and light blue no-logo T-shirt. White and grey are the ones that go with anything, navy, black and Klein blue give a plain outfit some weight, and red, yellow, light pink and light blue are the brighter choices for summer or for a doll whose look is mostly pale.

Nine photographs come with this piece, each labelled with its colour, so you can put the shirt you have in mind next to the alternatives before choosing. Buying three at once costs $12.99 rather than $14.97, which is the practical way to build a small wardrobe: a neutral tee, a dark tee and a coloured one covers most of what a doll needs across a week of outfit changes. One shirt is $4.99, and the compare-at price is $5.99.

The shirt sits within the rest of the Outfits group, where bottoms, skirts, shoes, hats and scarves pick up where the top leaves off, and it layers under hoodies, sweaters and outerwear when the weather in your scene turns. Where a doll is being photographed rather than dressed for a scene, a plain tee also gives you a neutral backdrop for a favourite accessory. Turn garments inside out when you take them off, so any fastening does not catch, and dress the doll by easing the neck opening over the head rather than pulling hard on a sleeve.

Store the shirts flat or folded rather than on a hook, and keep them away from anything with a rough surface that could catch. If a shirt picks up lint, brush it lightly with a soft dry brush rather than washing it.
