# Bloomingdale's Neckline Description (Women's Outfits, Women's Sweaters, Women's Sweatshirts and 2 more) Field Guide

> V-neck, crewneck, scoopneck, boatneck, off-the-shoulder. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Neckline Description** is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's tops department. It names the neckline or collar of the top, and Bloomingdale's shows the value as a feature bullet on the product page. Bloomingdale's definition lists V-neck, crewneck, scoopneck, boatneck and off-the-shoulder as the kind of terms it expects.

Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares its attribute definitions with Macy's. Each apparel department has a neckline field; this page covers women's tops. Dresses use the required [Neckline or Collar Description](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb1-womens-dresses), outerwear uses [Neckline](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb4-womens-outerwear) and jumpsuits use [Neckline](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb1-womens-jumpsuits).

## The rules

| Rule | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Required | No |
| Level | Parent listing, one value for every color and size |
| Length | Up to 254 characters, spaces included |
| Format | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Content | The neckline or collar shape, plus its trim when relevant |

Use the standard vocabulary: V-neck, crewneck, scoop neck, boatneck, square neck, sweetheart, halter, off-the-shoulder, one-shoulder, mock neck, turtleneck, cowl, peter pan collar, polo collar, spread collar, notched lapel, shawl collar. For a bra-style top or swim top, add the wire shape when the source states it (V-wire, U-wire). Trim detail such as "with ribbed trim" can join the shape in the same phrase. When the description says nothing, the neckline is nearly always visible in the front image, so the value can be read from there.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| V-neck | Good | Standard term, nothing extra needed |
| Crewneck with ribbed trim | Good | Shape plus trim |
| Square neckline | Good | Recognizable filter term |
| Off-the-shoulder neckline with elasticized edge | Good | Shape and construction |
| Flattering neckline. | Weak | Sentence with a period, no shape |
| Round | Weak | Not a neckline term shoppers filter by |

## Common mistakes

- Leaving the field blank when the neckline is plainly visible. This is one of the few features an image settles on its own.
- Writing a non-standard word ("round", "open") instead of the term shoppers search for ("crewneck", "scoop neck").
- Describing the hood or the closure here. Those have their own fields: [Hood](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb2-womens-tops) and [Closure](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb4-womens-tops).

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Neckline Description as an optional parent-level text field on women's tops listings, so one phrase is shared by every variant. The AI reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes at most 254 characters with no trailing period. When the source text is silent it names the neckline visible in the front image, and it never describes a single color or size. Brand vocabulary can be set with [custom instructions](/help/ai-prompts/custom-instructions).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Neckline Description required for women's tops on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional in the women's tops department, though the neckline is visible on almost every top, so there is rarely a reason to leave it empty.

### Which term should I use for a collared shirt?

Name the collar: "Spread collar", "Polo collar" or "Peter pan collar". A collar is the neckline for this field.

### Can I include the trim?

Yes, in the same phrase: "Crewneck with ribbed trim". Keep it to the neckline; embellishments elsewhere go in [Special Details](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb10-womens-tops).

### What if the description does not mention the neckline?

Read it from the front image. Bloomingdale's expects the value that matches what the shopper sees in the photo.
