# Bloomingdale's Waist details (Baby Dresses and Kids Dresses) Field Guide

> Shirring, elasticized, smocked, ties, etc. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Waist details** is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the kids and baby dresses department. It names how the waist of the dress is built, and Bloomingdale's turns the value into one of the feature bullets shoppers read on the product page.

Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares most of its attribute definitions with Macy's. This field sits on the kids and baby dresses template only, so it appears once your listing is categorized in that department. The women's dresses template has its own [Waistband](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb7-womens-dresses) field with similar rules.

## 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 | Waist or waistband construction only |

Describe the construction with the vocabulary Bloomingdale's expects: elasticized, wide elastic, drawstring, ribbed, banded, belted, smocked, shirred, ruched, tie, contoured or high-waisted. For a drawstring, say whether it is interior and concealed or exposed, and whether it is functional. Because the value applies to the whole style, never mention a single colorway or size.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Smocked waist with self-tie sash | Good | Construction plus the tie detail, one phrase |
| Elasticized waistband with interior drawstring | Good | Says where the drawstring sits |
| Wide ribbed waistband | Good | Short and specific |
| The waist is elastic so it fits comfortably. | Weak | A sentence with a period, and a comfort claim instead of construction |
| Pink dress with bow at waist | Weak | Names one colorway, which the value must never do |

## Common mistakes

- Writing a marketing sentence instead of a construction phrase.
- Describing the bodice, skirt or sleeves here; those belong in other feature fields such as [Silhouette](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/product-dimensions3-kids-and-baby-dresses).
- Filling it for a dress with no waist detail at all. A plain shift dress can leave the field empty.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Waist details as an optional text field at the parent level of a kids and baby dresses listing, so one value covers every variant of the style. The AI reads the product description first, then the product attributes, then the images, and writes a single phrase capped at 254 characters with no trailing period. When nothing in the source states the waist construction, it leaves the field blank rather than guessing. You can steer the wording for your brand with [custom instructions](/help/ai-prompts/custom-instructions), and see the wider process in [how Osello AI fills listing fields](/help/ai-prompts/how-osello-ai-fills-listing-fields).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Waist details required on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional in the kids and baby dresses department. A listing submits without it, but the product page loses a feature bullet.

### Can the waist detail differ between sizes?

No. Feature bullets on Bloomingdale's cannot vary between the variants of a style, so write one phrase that is true for every size and colorway.

### Should I mention a functional drawstring?

Yes. Say whether the drawstring is functional and whether it is concealed inside the waistband or exposed, since both affect how the dress fits and how a parent adjusts it.
