fabric enhanced/made more interesting
Explanation:
interest is added to the fabric in some way, either by the type of weave /colour/or appliqué, or, fabric is enhanced in some way

see the dress here with the detail of fabric weave

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/womens-dresses-size-12-Dorothy-per...

here, in this example they specify appliqué

in your examples the tie is obviously interesting in its colour design and if you zoom in on the t-shirts the weave appears to be interesting giving different shades/tones of colour
