Where It Sits
Codes, names, default widths and placement come from the BeeGraphix master location list, shared by every decoration method. Max sizes follow our rhinestone contractor's oversize sizes. Youth garments use the adult spots at a size that fits the garment.
Front view shows the garment facing you, so the wearer's left chest (LC) sits on your right.
