Fabric photos that show drape, print scale and true color
Sewists ask three things: how big is the print, how does it hang and what is the real color. A flat swatch answers one of the three. Send a photo of the fabric, describe the folds and a ruler, and the bot builds a clear scene without altering the print.

Make it in TelegramScale and repeat
A print can look tiny on a screen and huge on a skirt. A visible ruler or hand gives buyers a reference. Lay out one full repeat so they see where the pattern starts again. If the bot changes the motif size, rerun with 'keep the motif exactly as large as in my photo relative to the ruler'. Buyers order by yard and a wrong scale hurts the repeat order.
True color
Colors shift between lights, so shoot near a window on an overcast day and compare the final image with the actual fabric. Mention the dye type and the washing advice in the listing. Etsy's current rules on supplies and on listing photos apply here too. A tiny swatch offer for a small price removes doubt for expensive silks and wool.
Tips
- Place a ruler or a coin in the frame.
- Show one full repeat of the pattern.
- Photograph the selvage and the back side.
- State the width and weight in the text.
