Yellow Lab Mom Shirt: Embroidered Smiling Labrador Lying Down on a Soft T-Shirt

This yellow lab mom shirt shows a Labrador retriever resting on the floor with its head up, front paws stretched out and tail curled up behind, the happy, waiting look every lab owner knows. The coat is stitched in pale cream and soft gold with tan shading on the ears, legs and paws, a white patch on the chest, a black nose and an open, smiling mouth with a pink tongue. It is a ready-made design on a soft, short-sleeve T-shirt: choose the color and size, add a name or icon on the sleeve if you like, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the yellow lab mom shirt?

The yellow lab mom shirt has 2 parts:

• The lab: centered on the chest, a cream and gold Labrador lying down with a big smile and a curled tail.
• The sleeve (optional): a name, initials or short word and an icon from the font and icon chart, in the font and thread color you choose, on the left or right sleeve.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the design on that color before you order. The pale coat stands out most on dark, deep and bright colors, where the cream fur, the black nose and the pink tongue read clearly. On white and sandy colors the cream coat sits close to the fabric, so the tan ears, the paws and the smile carry the lab.

How do you order your T-shirt?

To order your T-shirt, follow 4 steps:

• Choose the T-shirt color and size in the options above.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery.
• If you add it, type the name or initials, then pick the icon, font, thread color and sleeve.
• Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof before we stitch.

How do you add a name or icon on the sleeve?

Sleeve embroidery is optional and goes on one short sleeve. Type a short name or your initials, such as your lab’s name or the words Lab Mom, and pick an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos, or leave the icon off. White thread is preselected because it reads best on dark shirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a yellow lab dad shirt too?

Yes. The T-shirt has a relaxed, unisex fit, so it works as a yellow lab dad shirt just as well as a yellow lab mom shirt. Add the dog’s name, the words Lab Dad or your initials on the sleeve to make it his.

Is there a sweatshirt version too?

Yes. The same lab comes on our yellow lab crewneck for cooler days. Choose this T-shirt for warm weather or layering, and the sweatshirt for a cozy fleece.

Is it a good gift for a lab lover?

Yes. It suits a new puppy owner, a lab rescue volunteer or a friend whose yellow lab is part of every photo, and it makes an easy birthday, Mother’s Day or Christmas gift. Add the dog’s name on the sleeve, and find more ideas in our dog mom gifts and dog dad gifts.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your T-shirt to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page. For a birthday or a holiday, order at least two weeks ahead.

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Open the size guide on this page and compare the measurements with a T-shirt you already own before you order, and size up if you want an oversized look or are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered T-shirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and the color even, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the T-shirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold with similar colors, and use only non-chlorine bleach.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Skip the dry cleaner, and if you iron, iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the lab printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The coat, the nose, the smile and the sleeve name are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can the lab look like my own dog?

This lab is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog from a photo, see our custom dog shirts.

Are there other lab designs?

Yes. The yellow lab duck shirt has a yellow lab carrying a mallard drake, the happy golden retriever shirt has a smiling golden lying down, and more short-sleeve designs are in our embroidered pet T-shirts.
