I have a client who wants a design on each area where the breasts are. Kind of like how hands would be over the breast area. How do you determine where to place designs to be pressed on the shirts?

If the tees are lady's fitted - 220mm (9") should be your horizontal width. The centre of each hand should fall at each end of this width. Vertical should be maybe an inch below normal crest print position.
So hold four fingers sideways down from the neck seam and add about an inch to that. It's not an exact science but you should be in the right area on all sizes with that.

Yes, I have measured a lot of boobs in my time... in a working environment!

[edit]I've just realised that you're probably a girl. Where's the emoticon for embarrassed? [/edit]

If I was doing this project I'd have a normal size female put on one of the shirts and then tape paper cutouts of your hand design where they should be. Take off the shirt and use it for a guide to print them all. The design can fall a little higher on the smaller shirts and a little lower on the larger shirts.

(Make sure your "normal size" female agrees and knows what you're going to do ahead of time or you may get slapped around, especially if you were a guy...)

LOL. It's ok. Nothing to embarrassed about. I won't be embarrassed while doing the "fitting" with her..haha

you could try measuring distance down from the shoulder area as your central point. i'd guess it's about a foot down.

it wouldn't be an exact science though as the area varies from individual to individual. i just saw a very buxom woman whose "area" hung at least 2 feet down the other day and have noticed that some women have very high "mounted" busoms.

this is the correct way to do what you are asking. the client must realize that not every woman (or man for that matter) fits in clothes the same. there is a industry standard for all prints, but what looks perfect on one person will look off on the other.

The client must also understand that not every woman have the same cup size

Everyone is unique, and the style of bra will also play a major role, but as a general rule, perfect boobie placement is considered to be 1/2 way between the shoulder and elbow. I'm guessing that on a fitted shirt, you could use the narrowest area as the elbow (because the elbow usually sits at the waist), and center your graphic half way between the waste and shoulder.

follow the left chest print specs and go in 2.5 inches from center of shirt.

Thanks everyone for the tips. I'm sure I will be nervous placing the designs where I think they should go..lol

Going to re-bump this. I have the placement set, but should I do it as one transfer or should I do it as two separate transfers and press once?

Basically the design is two cupcakes over the breast and a saying underneath that says How you like them cupcakes.

Should I do that all on one transfer (vinyl) or separate transfers and pressing once? I’m only doing 4-5 shirts, so screen printing is not an option.

Just put the shirt on & mark it on the areas needed.

Mike, I have the placement. The issue i'm having now is whether to do it as one transfer/1 press or 2-3 transfers/1 press

Technically, it's 3 different designs (2 cupcakes and the wording)

If I understand your question, cut everything as one transfer, then cut out each breast print for exact placement on the shirt. Unless all 5 shirts are the same size then you can keep the transfer as one.
