Waist details is an optional feature bullet on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's jumpsuits department. It describes how the waist of the jumpsuit is built: tie, ruched, belted, elasticized, smocked, or a drawstring, and whether that drawstring works. Bloomingdale's builds the on-site bullets from this value, so it appears on the product page next to the neckline, sleeves and pockets bullets.
On a jumpsuit the waist is the seam that makes or breaks the fit, since it has to sit at the wearer's natural waist for the torso and legs to hang right. A shopper who can see "elasticized waist with self-tie" knows there is some give; one who sees "banded waist" knows there is none.
The rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Required | No. Leave it blank for a jumpsuit with no defined waist |
| Level | Parent. One value per style, shared by every colorway and size |
| Length | 254 characters at most, including spaces |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Content | The waist construction, plus functional or faux for a drawstring |
Constructions to name: elasticized, wide elastic, drawstring (interior and concealed, or exposed), ribbed, banded, belted, smocked, shirred, ruched, tie, contoured, high-waisted. Combine them when the garment does: a smocked waist with an exposed drawstring is one phrase.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Elasticized waist with functional interior drawstring | Good | Construction, drawstring, function, placement |
| Smocked waist with self-tie | Good | Construction and tie |
| Belted waist with removable self belt | Good | Says the belt comes off |
| High-waisted with wide banded waist | Good | Rise and construction |
| Cinched waist | Weak | Says how it looks, not how it is built |
| Drawstring waist | Weak | Functional or faux is missing |
| Elastic waist on the petite sizes | Weak | Describes one size range |
| The waist is smocked. | Weak | Sentence with a trailing period |
Common mistakes
- Leaving out whether the drawstring or tie is functional.
- Describing the belt as a design detail. If it shapes the waist, it belongs here; the Design details bullet is for what the other bullets miss.
- Writing fit copy ("defines the waist for a flattering line") instead of construction.
- Filling it for a straight-cut or drop-waist jumpsuit with no waist seam. Blank is correct.
How Osello fills this field
Osello fills Waist details once per parent listing for women's jumpsuits, reading the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase under 254 characters with no trailing period. It names the construction and, when the source states or the images show it, whether a drawstring is functional. When nothing identifies a waist construction, the field stays blank for you to fill. The same instruction drives Waistband for dresses, and the rest of the jumpsuit bullets are in the Bloomingdale's field directory.
Frequently asked questions
Is Waist details required for women's jumpsuits on Bloomingdale's?
No. It is optional. A jumpsuit with no defined waist can leave it blank.
How do I describe a drawstring that is only decorative?
Write "Faux drawstring at the waist". Saying functional or faux is the point of the field.
Does a removable belt go here?
Yes, when it shapes the waist. Write "Belted waist with removable belt" so the shopper knows it can come off.
Can the waist description change by colorway?
No. One phrase covers every colorway and size of the grouping.
