The word is definitely out now…I am a little bit in love with Soulflower! When Peggy shared a link on Facebook about their new Soulflower Screenprinted Tee, I knew exactly what I would like to review next. I think I’ve mentioned before that, to me, even just the word ‘soulflower’ gives off such a positive vibe. In my mind’s eye, I see this gigantic cosmic bloom. So, when I had the chance to really let my Soulflower love~light shine…I went for it! And, you know, if you are really passionate about a design, or company, there is no better way to spread the word about them than to just turn yourself into a walking~talking billboard. This tee has definitely opened up more dialogue with others. And, I’ve given away more catalogs while wearing it than ever before! It’s totally win-win!
One of the things I dig most about the tee is something that happened before it ever arrived. There is such a creative process in its construction. It seems so old school to actually carve out a linoleum block as a template, and then to roll the ink onto it. Everything they used came from an art supply store.
When the tee arrived, I noticed an apparent goof on my part. I thought this was a woman’s size tee when I requested it, but it isn’t. I got online immediately to see if there had been a mistake in shipping, and saw straight away that I had failed to see Junior on the sizes! I have a pretty small frame, but this Large is very snug on me. I definitely should have asked for the XLarge. The good news is…I’ve washed it three times (just to be sure) and it did not shrink at all. It isn’t as lightweight as the Treehugger tee, but it not a thick tee either. It’s still in the 90’s down here in Georgia, and the tee has been perfectly fine to wear out. It hits me about midway on my jeans zipper, and it stays there. No problems with riding up, unless you are jumping on a trampoline, which I occasionally do. There is plenty of room, even with its snugginess, for my neck & arms. The color on the website is pretty right on. It isn’t lighter or darker, you get what you see. All in all, it’s another sweet tee from Soulflower. I recommend it. 🙂
I’m heading out on a Route 66 trip across America soon, and my Soulflower threads will be the first thing I throw in the bag to take with me. Based on this tee alone, you’ll definitely know it’s me if I come to a town near you! Don’t be afraid to walk up and give me a high-five!! Peace, buds!

September 14, 2010 at 9:23 pm (14 years ago)Have ordered two XL Tees and had to give them away … I’m just too tall and too broad-shouldered, I guess. Suckage. SUCK!AGE! Means I’m scared sh**less to try one of their dresses. I’m not in plus sizes; I mean, I’m a size 12 or 14 everywhere else, is that plus size for Soul Flower? I don’t even know anymore. Still love them for soap, incense, jewelry … YOU look cute as a bug in a river rug, though!

September 15, 2010 at 3:10 pm (14 years ago)We realize this initial run of our block print tee ran small, and we will be getting a bigger size next time we print it. In the meantime, there is a larger men’s tee available as well here. As for our dresses & other clothing options, they are sized depending on the manufacturer. But there are plenty of options for available for women (size 12 thru 18) & each product has sizing info to help you determine what size will fit you best. Peace.
