1)  Rise slightly below the waiste ------Translation:  These will hit me in a very uncomfortable place and I will be trying, unsuccessfully, to pull them up all day.

2) Acrilic----Translation, the very first time I wear this item, it will pill horribly.  When I take it off, it will look to be years old.  After the first washing, I will throw it away, as it will look too horrible to donate.  

Are there any phrases that are a warning to you?

size up OR size down I know lines run differently , but , come on--what size is it? If I consider buying the item I read all of the reviews I can. Then try to decide.

The phrase that I hate to hear in tee shirt descriptions is 100% cotton. Translation, it will shrink at least 2 inches in length and "grow" 4 inches in width and have no shape after one wash.  Yes even if washed in cold water and dried without heat. So it becomes a wear once, wash and then toss or wear it around the house. And this goes for even expensive cotton shirts.

@Kcubed  Polyester = I'll sweat, Liquid knit = static and garment will stick to me

@Kcubed.  I've had the same experience with clothing, usually sweaters, containing acrylic yarn.   It must be a dirt-cheap filler yarn.  Otherwise why do manufacturers use it?

It's often found in Kim's  Belle sweaters, I've noticed.  I won't buy them.

Recycled fabric content.

Don't get me wrong, I love that there are more & more recycled materials in fashion.  However, it's not standardized at all, so you never know what you'll get.  It makes the fit, retention, durability, and feel of the fabric a ****** shoot.  It's too expensive to keep returning items, and the exchange process is no guarantee you'll ever get what you want.  

Trying to be altruistic in my buying habits, but recycled fabric content in jeans, shoes, tops, handbags, etc. is too much of a gamble for me via TV shopping.  I 100% leave that for in person shopping. 

24% recycled polyester

46% recycled polyester

22% recycled cotton

recycled vegan washable mules

Etc.
