Shirt A-skew

I made a shirt, which involved an alpha channel. When I went to upload it, I checked in on the female upper body to make sure it was right. My transparency worked fine. That isn't my problem, but it might help you answer my question.

When i tried it on the female upper body, it did appear to be slightly askew, but otherwise in tact. It is my first attempt at clothes with transparency, so I uploaded it anyway so I could see it on, and make adjustments accordingly.

Well, here's my question. Once I created a new shirt and used the texture, I can see that I did everything correctly, as far as creating and saving, etc.

But..... The shirt is on so that the front is at the side, and the other side of the body has NO shirt... meaning, it doesn't even wrap all the way around

I can't explain it better. If you want a pic, i'll get on to show.

How do I get it on right, straight, complete and proper?

What template were you using? Did you perhaps move guidelines accidentally?

you moved the layer that the template was on and didnt know it. Happens to me a lot and I catch it with a ctrl-z (undo in psp).

There is not much you can do other than remake it.

It is easy to move the edge guide layer by accident. Download a fresh copy of the template and check that it is in the right place. Also it sounds like you need to check the sliders in the appearance editor. If for example your collar edge in the appearance editor is lower than the collar edge in your transparancy, that part of your artwork wil not show in SL.
