Perhaps elastication is the "elevated" version of stretchy.
Elastication is the British version of elastic -- it is a real word, and was probably used by a vendor with a British background.

I don't see a problem. It's a real word being used properly in context.
If they didn't give you the fabrication there'd be another thread (or 5) with all of you up in arms because they're not giving you enough information?!!

It's actually not. What if a host said, "To get to QVC's facility, come down Monroe Street and when you get to the thorax of Monroe and Evans, take a quick right and you will see the building.
Then if host after host copied my misuse of "thorax" and incorporated it into their sales pitches, would that repetitive misuse of a word all of a sudden make it the correct word to use? No, it wouldn't. Same here.

It actually is. Twist it any way you wish to but it's still the end result manufacturing.

I don't mind "fabrication" at all. To me it usually is used to point out "knit" or "woven." It is my pet peeve not to have this info. "Fabric" to me means wool, cotton, polyester, etc.

No twisting here. They use it when they are talking about the material used - the stuff you buy by the yard -- not the method they used to create the garment. It's supposed to be fabric, not fabrication.
