The dataset comprises 15,000 natural language descriptions associated to 3,000 corresponding images of fabric materials. Traditionally, material descriptions come in the form of tags/keywords, which limits their expressivity, induces pre-existing knowledge of the appropriate vocabulary, and ultimately leads to a chopped description system. Therefore, we study the use of free-text as a more appropriate way to describe material appearance, taking the use case of fabrics as a common item that non-experts may often deal with. Based on the analysis of the dataset, we identify a compact lexicon, set of attributes and key structure that emerge from the descriptions. This allows us to accurately understand how people describe fabrics and draw directions for generalization to other types of materials. We also show that our dataset enables specializing large vision-language models such as CLIP, creating a meaningful latent space for fabric appearance, and significantly improving applications such as fine-grained material retrieval and automatic captioning. 000130031 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000130031 590__ $$a7.8$$b2023 000130031 592__ $$a7.766$$b2023 000130031 591__ $$aCOMPUTER SCIENCE, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING$$b5 / 132 = 0.038$$c2023$$dQ1$$eT1 000130031 593__ $$aComputer Graphics and Computer-Aided Design$$c2023$$dQ1 000130031 594__ $$a14.3$$b2023 000130031 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000130031 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-2077-683X$$aGuerrero-Viu, Julia$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000130031 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7503-7022$$aGutierrez, Diego$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000130031 700__ $$aBoubekeur, Tamy 000130031 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-0060-7278$$aMasia, Belen$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000130031 7102_ $$15007$$2570$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
