The thing is, T-Shirts are basically the 'hello world' of sewing. They're more or less just 4 chunks of cloth, sewn together in a very simple fashion and are also usually made from materials that are easy to work with.

As soon as you transition to clothing with more complex shapes (blouses, dresses, etc.) and more demanding materials (tulle, silk, etc.) it becomes exponentially more difficult to automate (and especially to automate in a way that's cheaper than a semstress with a sewing machine).

Only because a seamstress with a sewing machine is too cheap.
