# Bloomingdale's Nursing Features (Women's Dresses) Field Guide

> Include closures for nursing panels, cups, special suport details. Example: Clip down closure, drop-down cups, etc. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Nursing Features** is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's dresses department. It describes how a nursing dress opens for feeding: the closures on the nursing panels or cups, hidden zippers and any extra support built in. Bloomingdale's shows the value as a feature bullet, and for a shopper buying maternity or postpartum clothing it is the bullet that decides the purchase.

Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares its attribute definitions with Macy's. This page covers the women's dresses department; the same construction detail on a nursing top belongs in that department's feature fields.

## The rules

| Rule | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Required | No |
| Level | Parent listing, one value shared by every color and size |
| Length | Up to 254 characters, spaces included |
| Format | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Content | Nursing closures, panels, cups and support only; blank when the dress has none |

Name the mechanism and where it sits: clip-down closure, drop-down cups, pull-aside panels, hidden side zippers, a built-in bra or shelf support. The value applies to every colorway and size in the style group, so describe only what all of them share. Leave the field empty on a dress with no nursing access; a general maternity fit without an opening is not a nursing feature.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Clip-down nursing closure with drop-down cups | Good | Mechanism plus what it releases |
| Pull-aside nursing panels at the bodice | Good | Type and location |
| Hidden side zippers for nursing access, built-in shelf bra | Good | Access method and support |
| Great for new moms. | Weak | Sentence, period, no construction |
| Nursing friendly | Weak | Does not say how the dress opens |
| Maternity fit | Weak | Fit, not a nursing feature |

## Common mistakes

- Filling the field for a maternity dress without an opening. Empty is correct.
- Writing "nursing friendly" or "easy access" without the mechanism. The shopper needs to know whether it clips, drops or pulls aside.
- Putting general support details here. Boning, underwire and shelf bras on a non-nursing dress belong in [Support & Construction](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb9-womens-dresses).

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Nursing Features as an optional, parent-level text field on Bloomingdale's women's dress listings, so one phrase is shared by every variant. The AI reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase of at most 254 characters with no trailing period. When nothing in the source states or shows a nursing feature, the field is left blank rather than inferred from a maternity label.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Nursing Features required on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional in the women's dresses department and should stay empty for dresses without nursing access.

### Does a maternity dress count?

Only when it has a nursing opening. A maternity silhouette with no panels, clips or zippers gets a blank field.

### How specific should the closure be?

Name the type and, where it helps, the location: "Clip-down closure at the straps" tells the shopper exactly how the dress opens.
