Complete Prompt
Using the uploaded T-shirt image as the only product reference, create a premium flat lay image of the exact T-shirt.

Place the T-shirt neatly laid flat on a clean, minimal neutral surface. Keep the shirt fully visible and centered. No model. No hanger. No distracting props. If props are used, they must be extremely minimal and must not cover the T-shirt. Use bright commercial lighting and a clean e-commerce composition. High-resolution product photography.
