It's a common problem I see all the time. Whenever a female wears a t-shirt, the text or graphics adhere to the breasts causing a "cave in" effect. Does anything exist that makes it appear to stretch naturally as in RL? Thanks.

Unfortunately that's how clothing works :( .

It's the same as how every guy has a Maytag butt, the pants/jacket layer is glued to the butt crack.

I don't think there's much that can be done about that... I find that either making the text or the graphics slightly smaller and putting them up higher/above the breast helps, less distortion there.

provided that you have the appropriate texture, a sculpt could be used between the two breasts?

I think a flexi or sculptie is a neat workaround if you find a good
attachment point for the prim. The only issues that come to mind are:
a) a commonly used attach point for that area will be a small bummer-
because it's sucky to be forced to choose between your other
attachments for the desired look. That however is just SLife.
b) the attachment point must allow the prim to stay in the perfect spot
even while dancing or moving about because it's ugly to have part
of your shirt bobbing about your body while you dance :)

-- I have also found that for Men's shirts the logo or writing is best
viewed in the upper torso and the Female's logo is best viewed in the
lower under breast part of the torso.

Many clever designers will lessen the harshness of "the cavein" with
spectacular texturizing. Kudos to them the Spelunkers of cave ins.

yes i hate it too. the solution is to have a prim attachment at the breast. a very good example of this is Cubic Effects "tank" mini dress, which i wear all the time cause it looks so good.

Oh btw, since the Cubic Effect tank dress is modable, you could potentially make copies of the breast sculptie and use it with other clothes after dying it - just a thought. - and no, I dont work for CE!!!
