Tshirts and breast

I have ben wanting to create some tshirts for women. The problem is that the way the shirts cling to a avie you end up with "Real mean wear pink" becoming "Rink" when attached to the rather busty girls of SL.

Aside from breast reduction, is there a way around this issue. I have consider the creation of object to attach to the spine and serve as a "chest cap" to hold the logo in place. A friend suggested there might be texturing issues between the shirt and the "chest cap"?

I am just looking for some help

Although I'm no help, you may be thinking of a breastplate . But I know what you mean. May need to develop a prim tshirt that flows like a loose tshirt.

Breastplate

I went with breast cap because it not like a Roman or greek breast plate that might actually follow the contours of the chest. I had not cinsiders using prims, that might work well. Course knowing how to use them would help. Thanks

Prims or breast reduction are the only way I'm afraid.

I happen to know from something else that prims that attempt to follow your nipples are awkward to do properly... they're quite a way from the nearest attachment point and anims cause the prims and the body shape to drift apart.

Alternatively you have to move the logo elsewhere on the body... across the top of the chest works pretty well as long as you don't get too close to the shoulder seams. Across the belly also works well, but looks a little odd unless it's part of the design rather than the whole pattern.

Just ignore the 'pecs' attachment points and attach the prims either to chest or the spine point, that should keep the prims match the body shape all the time ^^;;

Unfortunately, the SL upper body clothes do not haver a "chest spandex slider" like Poser figures, so there is no way, with a shirt by itself, to have the fabric of the shirt 'Tent' from breast to breast like a real shirt does. We're stuck with the 'wet t-shirt look'. *sigh*

No designer that I am aware of tries making a chest area on the shirt with prims, because the shirt would be 'locked' at a specific breast size. Make your prim part to look perfect on a 36D chest, and it won't fit a 44DD or a 22A bustline.

Also, the chest attachment point is very frequently used for necklaces and for collars - anything worn on the neck. Believe it or not, there are NO 'neck' or 'wrist' or 'ankle' attachment points! We have to use Chest, Forearm and Lower Leg attachments instead.

If you do try to make a prim chest area, the only attachment points that will work are Chest and Spine. Any others will 'float' too much as the person moves.

Um, they don't. The particular item I was thinking of was attached to the spine, and although it didn't drift badly there is still drift. Enough to look very odd when I was about to take a close up photo of me sitting down.

Hmm that sounds rather odd... i didn't have any problems when playing with it, and there's couple attachments out there which would get quite useless if it wasn't possible. Maybe it depends on where the size sliders are, i didn't really check what happens with the 50+ values o.O

Some furries use a breast attachment to create jiggling breasts on thier avs. A static version of that might work?

In this thread (below) Jan Primbee found a sizeable breast implant attatchment. Maybe you can ask her where she got em, and the creator of the item might be willing to give you at least SOME advice on your idea.

Here's a link to the thread:

Although prims are infact the best way to display over the breasts this often doesnt look right with changing sun conditions unless its used on black,so you might consider writing in an arc,most image editors allow you to bend your text so make a kind of semi circle from the text and place the middle of the arch over the the top of the clevage or simple use straight text but move it towards the neck,a few trials will show you the right line to place it at.
