Bloomingdale's Sleeve /Strap Description Field Guide

Long, short, three-quarter length, one-shoulder, tank, etc. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

Sleeve /Strap Description is a required feature bullet on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the kids and baby dresses department. It names the sleeve length and type, or the straps when the dress has no sleeves: long, short, three-quarter, one-shoulder, tank. A kids and baby dresses listing cannot be submitted from Osello without it. The value appears in the details section of the product page.

The rules

Rule Value
Required Yes
Maximum length 254 characters, spaces included
Form One phrase, no trailing period
Level Parent listing, one value for the whole style
Department Kids and baby dresses

Name the sleeve length and type: long, short, three-quarter, elbow, cap, sleeveless, tank, strapless, one-shoulder, off-the-shoulder, dolman, raglan, puff, bell. When the dress uses straps instead of sleeves, describe the straps: adjustable, tie, spaghetti. For a coat dress or an outerwear-style piece, add the cuff detail (rib-knit cuffs, thumbholes, zip or snap cuffs). The bullet is shared across the grouping, so never describe one color or one size.

Sleeves and straps in one field

A sleeved dress takes the sleeve phrase ("Short puff sleeves"). A sleeveless dress with straps takes the strap phrase ("Sleeveless with adjustable straps" or "Spaghetti straps"). A strapless dress is "Strapless".

Examples

Value Verdict Reason
Short sleeves Good Length in one phrase
Three-quarter puff sleeves Good Length plus sleeve type
Sleeveless with adjustable straps Good Covers a strapped dress
Spaghetti straps Good Strap type on its own
Long sleeves with rib-knit cuffs Good Adds the cuff detail
Sleeves Weak No length or type
Cute cap sleeves finish the bodice. Weak A sentence with a period

Common mistakes

  • Leaving the field blank on a sleeveless dress. "Sleeveless" or the strap description is the value.
  • Describing the neckline here. It has its own bullet, Neckline.
  • Putting sleeve trim here when it belongs in Decorative details.
  • Ending the phrase with a period.

How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Sleeve /Strap Description as a required parent-level text field capped at 254 characters. When a kids and baby dresses listing is filled in, the AI reads the description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase naming the sleeves or the straps. The value is set once per style and shared by every size and colorway. Until it has a value the listing shows as not ready (required fields and listing readiness). Vocabulary can be adjusted with custom instructions.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sleeve /Strap Description required for kids and baby dresses on Bloomingdale's?

Yes. It is one of the required bullets in this department, and Osello will not submit the listing without it.

What do I enter for a sleeveless dress?

Describe the straps, for example "Sleeveless with adjustable straps" or "Spaghetti straps". A dress with no straps at all is "Strapless".

Should the neckline go in the same phrase?

No. Neckline has its own bullet in this department. Keep this field to the sleeves or straps.
