# Bloomingdale's Straps (Women's Dresses) Field Guide

> Fixed or removable, adjustable, convertible.  Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Straps** is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's dresses department. It describes the straps on a slip, cami, halter or strapless-convertible dress: whether they are fixed or removable, adjustable or convertible, and their style. Bloomingdale's shows the value as a feature bullet on the product page, where it answers the shopper's practical questions about how the dress stays up and how the straps work with different bras and heights.

Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares its attribute definitions with Macy's. Each apparel department has its own strap field; this page covers women's dresses. The same attribute exists for [women's tops](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb3-womens-tops) and, as a required field, for [women's bras](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb2-womens-bras).

## 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 | Strap construction and style; blank when the dress has no straps |

Bloomingdale's definition asks for fixed or removable, adjustable and convertible. Add the style when it defines the look: spaghetti, wide, padded, criss-cross, racerback, tie. Because the value lives on the parent listing, it applies to every colorway and size, so describe only what all variants share. A dress with sleeves and no straps gets an empty field.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Adjustable spaghetti straps | Good | Construction plus style |
| Removable, convertible straps | Good | Everything a shopper needs before buying a convertible dress |
| Fixed wide straps | Good | Says the straps do not adjust |
| Criss-cross adjustable straps at the back | Good | Style with placement |
| Straps | Weak | Confirms straps exist and nothing else |
| Delicate straps in gold. | Weak | Sentence, period, and a colorway |

## Common mistakes

- Filling the field on a sleeved dress. Empty is correct when there are no straps.
- Leaving out "adjustable" or "fixed". It is the detail that decides whether the dress fits a taller or shorter shopper.
- Describing a strap tie at the neck as the neckline. The neckline shape goes in [Neckline or Collar Description](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb1-womens-dresses); the straps go here and, when the dress has no sleeves, in [Sleeve Description](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb5-womens-dresses).

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Straps 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 straps, the field is left blank rather than guessed from the silhouette.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Straps required for dresses on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional in the women's dresses department. Fill it only when the dress has straps.

### Do I fill both Straps and Sleeve Description for a cami dress?

Yes. Sleeve Description states that the dress is sleeveless with straps; Straps carries the construction: fixed, removable, adjustable or convertible, and the style.

### What about a halter dress?

Describe the halter tie or band as the strap: "Halter straps that tie at the neck" or "Fixed halter strap". If the straps can also be worn another way, add "convertible".
