Hood is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's dresses department. Few dresses have one, so when a hooded sweatshirt dress or a knit midi with a detachable hood comes along, the shopper wants the construction spelled out. Bloomingdale's shows the value as a feature bullet on the product page.
Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares its attribute definitions with Macy's. Every apparel department has its own hood field; this page covers women's dresses. The same attribute exists for women's outerwear and women's tops.
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 | Hood construction only; blank when the dress has no hood |
Say whether the hood is fixed or detachable and how it detaches (button, snap or zip). Add what applies: drawstring, adjustable opening, stows into the collar, faux-fur trim and whether the trim is removable, fleece or shearling lining. Naming the trim fiber, for example "(polyester)", keeps the bullet consistent with the fiber content elsewhere on the page. The value sits on the parent listing, so it can never describe one colorway or size.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed hood with drawstring | Good | Attachment plus the adjuster |
| Snap-detachable hood, fleece lined | Good | Mechanism and lining |
| Attached hood stows into collar | Good | Says where the hood goes when not in use |
| Cozy hood keeps you warm. | Weak | Sentence, period, no construction detail |
| Cream faux-fur hood | Weak | Names a single colorway |
Common mistakes
- Filling the field for a hoodless dress. Empty is the correct value.
- Writing "detachable" without the mechanism. Bloomingdale's asks how it comes off.
- Describing the collar here. That belongs in Neckline or Collar Description.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Hood as an optional, parent-level text field on Bloomingdale's women's dress listings, so a single phrase is shared by every variant in the style group. 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 hood, the field is left blank rather than guessed. Brand vocabulary can be added through custom instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Is Hood required for dresses on Bloomingdale's?
No. It is optional in the women's dresses department. Fill it only when the dress has a hood.
How much detail does the hood phrase need?
Enough to say how it attaches and what it does: "Zip-detachable hood with drawstring" is complete. Skip warmth claims and anything about a specific color.
Can the hood description differ between colors of the same dress?
No. The field applies to every color and size. If only one colorway has faux-fur trim, describe what all colorways share.
