Set a decoration field
Measure the usable front or back panel for each fit. Position the design relative to the neckline and seams so it remains balanced across the intended size range.
Choose a fabric and test it
Check how the shirt handles heat, pressure and washing. A stretch fabric may need a different layout or stone spacing from a stable knit.
Control size and color allocation
Treat shirt sizes, shirt colors and motif versions as separate stock lines. The production pack should state how many of each finished combination to make.
Field exercise
Approve placement across a size run
One centered design can sit at a different visual height on a small and a large shirt because necklines, chest width and fit change. Measure the usable front panel of the chosen blanks and decide whether the motif stays one size or scales by shirt size. Press representative samples at the ends of the range, then inspect them while worn or on a form rather than judging flat photographs alone.
Evidence to retain
- 01Record blank garment model, fabric, color and size for every decorated sample.
- 02Use measured neckline and side-seam references for artwork placement, not a vague instruction to center it.
- 03Check washed samples for both stone retention and garment shape before release.
