Placement of text on T-shirt

is there a general rule of where to start text on a T-shirt, as far as the beginning line, how far down should it be from the collar? I have just been eyeballing it.

TIA

There is no rule apart from the eyeballing rule

Maybe it's just my bias as a woman, but I tend to not want to place items so that they would be prominently and mainly displayed across my boobs..

@PenguinPower  but that's prime advertising space! 😂

This article from Vistaprint may be helpful for you.

It suggests that for designs that are on the centre of the chest, to have the design start 2-3 inches below the collar. And the width should be 8-10 inches for text, to ensure readability.

As for crest designs, they suggest these are 4 inches down from shoulder seam, centred between neckline and left armpit seam
