Pockets & Location is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's dresses department. Pockets on a dress are a selling point shoppers actively look for, and this bullet is where Bloomingdale's tells them how many there are, what kind and where they sit. It appears as a feature bullet on the product page.
Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares its attribute definitions with Macy's. Each apparel department has its own pocket 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 | Count, type, location, and functional or faux when known; blank when there are no pockets |
Bloomingdale's definition asks for whether the pockets are functional or faux, how many there are, the type and the location. Types on dresses are usually side seam, slant, patch, welt, zip or flap; locations are front, side, hip, chest or interior. Pockets stitched shut for shipping are still functional, so do not call them faux. Because the value sits on the parent listing, it applies to every colorway and size.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Two side-seam pockets | Good | Count, type and location |
| Two front patch pockets at the hip | Good | Count, type and placement |
| Faux flap pockets at the chest | Good | Faux called out with location |
| Zip chest pocket and two hand pockets | Good | Mixed types in one phrase |
| Pockets! | Weak | No count, type or location |
| Has pockets for your phone. | Weak | Sentence with a period |
Common mistakes
- Filling the field for a dress with no pockets. Empty is the correct value.
- Labeling stitched-shut pockets as faux. They are functional once the basting thread is removed.
- Omitting the count. "Side pockets" leaves the shopper guessing between one and two.
- Describing pockets that appear only on one colorway. Describe what every variant shares.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Pockets & Location 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 pockets, the field is left blank. A house style such as always writing "hidden side-seam pockets" can be set with custom instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pockets & Location required for dresses on Bloomingdale's?
No. It is optional in the women's dresses department. Fill it only when the dress has pockets.
The pockets are sewn shut. Are they faux?
No. Pockets temporarily stitched closed for shipping are functional. Describe them as pockets and, if the copy says so, note that they open.
How do I write a dress with one pocket?
State the count: "One interior pocket at the side seam". Count, type and location cover everything Bloomingdale's asks for.
