I notice all the Fashion vendors using the word FABRICATION over and over.....must be the new word.... I am sick of hearing it.....like FriYay👎

Agreed. I've never understood the use of "fabrication" when "fabric" has worked so well all these years.

Some hosts have been using, MOMENT and STORY excessively, while presenting.

I also agree. Sounds affected.
When I hear "fabrication" I think "a lie." I'm sure that's not what they are going for!

Absolutely! To "fabricate" something, is to make it up, as in a lie!

And "colorways".

I totally agree! To me,. "fabrication" is a lie so I wonder if they're lying about the garment being presented. And, I had to quit watching any Valerie Parr Hill show because, to her, everything is a "story." Odd that these small things irritate me so much, but they do.

It's always been used in commercials and ads. I don't see why not. It's not just a QVC thing. QVC is one long infomercial anyway. Why not use is?

AGREE! This has annoyed me for a very long time and recall posting about it somewhere else on the Q forums. They should simply use the word "fabric." Fabrication is how something is made. When hosts and vendors touch an item and refer to it having a nice, smooth, silky feel, they should just say "fabric." If they talk about how something is made, say, spun on a special machine or stitched in a certain way, then "fabrication" is correct. Other than that, this word has become like nails on the chalkboard for me!!!

I am surprised at myself by how much fabrication is a mildvirritant. Another word for me is used by only one vendor. It is curvation. In my part of the country, Curvation is a brand name, so the word calls attention to itself. I do just shift the channel, but I always wonder if I have become crankier as I have gotten older. 😊
