A soul sisters shirt with your own photo: this personalized custom tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie prints SOUL in big white letters, a black and white picture of you and your friend, then SISTERS across the bottom.
It’s for the friend who isn’t related to you but might as well be.
Why does the photo print in black and white?
Grayscale gives the shirt the look of a page from an old album and makes the white headline easy to read.
In the sample, two women in ripped jeans sit on the hood of an old car at sunset, one tipping her head back laughing as the sun drops behind the hills. It has a road trip feel.
Your version might be the porch at her parents’ house, a concert in the rain or the two of you taking over the dance floor at a wedding.
The layout is simple: SOUL on top, your photo in the center, SISTERS underneath, all in clean white with no outline. That plain, poster-like look is what makes it read as a retro graphic tee rather than a novelty shirt.
Who usually gets one
It’s often a friend of many years who has walked her soul sister through breakups, moves and at least one regrettable haircut. She wants a birthday present that says family without either of them having to get sappy about it.
Instead of flowers that wilt by the weekend, she gets a tee with your favorite picture that she’ll still be wearing next summer.
She saw the braces and the bad boyfriend years, so a photo from back then is the right one to print.
Order one each before you leave, which means every gas station photo has the two of you matching.
When she moves into her own place, the crewneck version feels like you on a quiet first night there.
If your sister is also your best friend, the word fits twice and you get to say both at once.
Plenty of people order two and make it a matching set.
Making your soul sisters tee
- Choose the style and size: tee, long sleeve, crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie.
- Pick a shirt color for each one you order.
- Upload one photo. We put it where the sample picture is now.
- Leave notes on which photo or how to crop. Example: sunset photo, crop to our faces.
For the friend who’s family without the paperwork
- Flowers droop by Thursday and cards end up in a drawer
- Friendship gifts usually say BFF like you’re both still in middle school
- No greeting card has a word for a friend who’s basically family
Some friendships have earned the word sister, and most of them never hear it said. SOUL and SISTERS in clean white with no outline frame one black and white photo, so the porch, the rainy concert or the car hood at sunset looks like an old album page.
The words SOUL and SISTERS don’t change, so the only thing to decide is the picture.
