[ic] Short and long descriptions of options

I am running 4.8.6 and have set up several options for some products.
The options are matrix, one widget.
The problem is that I need to have a long description for the person to
see, but if I put:
Deluxe black lace trimmed with white feathers and funky blueberry buttons.
In the description field then it shows up in the pull-down menu as this
huge line that messes up the page.  However, if I just say 'deluxe
version' then it is not descriptive enough.
I can, of course, add
Deluxe version is a black lace ...
To the comment field in the products database, but this obviously isn't
very good design and I'd prefer a more seamless method if possible.
There are all sorts of fields in the options database and I've tried
adding descriptions in o_header or o_footer for example but that doesn't
seem to work.
So, to make a long story short if someone knows how to have a short
description and then a long follow up description for options then please
let me know.
If there is no easy way to do it in admin could someone point me to where
I could program this myself?

Thank You,
Bryan
