Yeah, I could, and I probably will email them and say the picture is bad, but it only hurts me not to add them to my shop anyway. ---

I would say that’s a normal photo for a nightshirt. A quick look at Kohls show many sleep shirts and nightgowns on hangers, or just sort of floating in the air. I’ve seen this at other online stores as well. I think anyone who buys sleep shirts would find the CafePress photo normal. I’m not saying it’s a great picture, and a better picture could improve sales. But I don’t consider it bad, it seems to be the standard way nightshirts are shown. ---

Sorry to double post, but I found a much worse nightshirt photo. Behold the fashion model [with no hands](http://www.kmart.com/covington-women-s-waffle-weave-thermal-v-neck-night-shirt/p-038A2783000P?currentProductTitle=covington-women-s-waffle-weave-thermal-v-neck-night-shirt&partNumber=038A2783000P&storeId=10151&isSEOCanonURL=true&PRODUCT_TITLE_BRAND=covington-women-s-waffle-weave-thermal-v-neck-night-shirt&catalogId=10104&catgroupId=038A2783000P&pageInd=product&i_cntr=1321419132165)! ---

There are no tits on the second picture. Not interested. ---

I’m not sure why the pic made me think “prison sex”. ---

It looks like it was washed for the 20th time in somebody’s old bathwater and dried by tying it to the roof rack and driving through Gary, IN. Not interested. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-this-the-most-unflattering-product-photo-or-what/602820.md?page=1)
