Sleeve Description is a required feature bullet for every item Bloomingdale's places in its Kids & Baby tops department. It names the sleeve length and style, and it appears in the features list on the product page. Because Bloomingdale's Marketplace validates required attributes before a listing goes live, a kids' top with this field empty will not be accepted.
The field is set once per style. Every color and size of the top shares the same sleeve description.
The rules
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Required | Yes |
| Level | Parent listing, shared by all colorways and sizes |
| Maximum length | 254 characters including spaces |
| Format | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Content | Sleeve length plus sleeve type; strap details for tops with no sleeves |
| Never include | Color, size or anything that varies within the style |
Lengths and types to choose from: long, short, three-quarter, elbow, cap, sleeveless, tank, strapless, one-shoulder, off-the-shoulder, dolman, raglan, puff, bell. Kids' outerwear gets its cuff details here too: rib-knit cuffs, thumbholes, zip or snap cuffs. When a top uses straps instead of sleeves, describe the straps (adjustable, tie, spaghetti).
Kids & Baby tops compared with other departments
Sleeve description exists in several Bloomingdale's departments, each as its own field. On a Kids & Baby top, raglan and puff sleeves are common enough to be worth naming, and bodysuits or rompers listed as tops often have snap shoulders or short sleeves that are the deciding detail. When a strappy tank is the item, this field carries the strap description and Straps (if applicable) can add adjustability details.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Long raglan sleeves | Good | Length and type |
| Short puff sleeves | Good | Length and type in three words |
| Long sleeves with rib-knit thumbhole cuffs | Good | Adds the cuff detail for an outerwear top |
| Sleeveless with adjustable straps | Good | Correct form for a tank |
| Sleeves | Weak | No length or type |
| Long sleeves in pink and blue. | Weak | Color reference and a trailing period |
Common mistakes
- Leaving the field empty on a sleeveless top. "Sleeveless" or "Tank" is the answer.
- Writing a full sentence such as "This top features long sleeves". Use the phrase.
- Describing the model's fit ("sleeves hit at the wrist on our 4T model"). Keep to the garment.
- Mixing in details that belong to other bullets, such as the neckline or the hem.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Sleeve Description as a required parent-level text field. Once a listing is in a Kids & Baby tops category, it reads the product description, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase with the sleeve length and type, adding cuff details for outerwear and strap details for tops without sleeves. The value is written once and inherited by every variant of the style. A listing with this field still empty is held as incomplete and cannot be submitted; see required fields and listing readiness. The full attribute list is in the Bloomingdale's field directory.
Frequently asked questions
What do I write for a sleeveless top?
Write "Sleeveless" or "Tank", and describe the straps if it has them, for example "Sleeveless with adjustable straps". The field is required, so it cannot be left blank because the top has no sleeves.
Can I list two sleeve options for a convertible top?
Yes, in one phrase, such as "Long sleeves with roll-tab cuffs". Describe what the garment offers rather than how it looks in one photo.
Does the sleeve description change per size?
No. It is set on the parent listing and applies to every size and color of the style.
Should the cuff go here or in Special Details?
Cuff details for outerwear belong here. Special Details is for prints, embellishments and performance features not covered by another bullet.
