Descriptions of products does not necessarily help the screen reader user as well. Using the example, what is the cut of the shirt, does it have pockets, does it have buttons on the collar, ow big is the pattern, what type of weave, ETC. Not sure how this can be handled in a shopping situation as this is a big gap as I can see it.

Even electronics they don't describe the product in a way you get a feel for what it looks like and if that is a component of your decision. Then you could buy something that doesn't fit your notion of Essenics.
