Websites like SpreadShirt, Zazzle, and CafePress have made it mindlessly easy to create a t-shirt and sell it online. Since the products are only created once they are purchased there is no initial investment or risk of loss.

This has resulted in a flood of media being applied to apparel. I have noticed it is increasingly common for bloggers to have t-shirts with their site’s logo or satirical sites to  have shirts related to hyper recent events. It is a great example of democratizing the resources of the industry to spur creativity.

So what are you going to do when you want a shirt, but don’t know where to start? Please Dress Me has answered that question by aggregating the tees of the web into one place. Along with standard meta tag search you can also find products by color, price,  and a “Random” function reminiscent of Google’s “Surprise Me” button. From my initial look it provides a lot of options and that is weighted heavier towards quality than quantity.

Now that web indexing is standard practice it looks like the next wave of search is to index the individual objects within it. Which brings us one step closer to a semantic web where we are no longer looking for webpages but for objects that have unique dientities, traits, and histories.
