# Bloomingdale's Lining (Kids Underwear & Undershirts, Women's Bras, and Women's Panties) Field Guide

> Fully or partially lined plus location of the lining.   Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Lining** on Bloomingdale's Marketplace states whether a bra is lined, how much of it, where the lining sits and whether it can be removed. This page covers the version of the field in the women's bras department, which includes everyday bras, bralettes and sports bras. It is required for every style in the department, it sits on the parent listing so one value covers every colorway and size, and Bloomingdale's builds one of the on-site feature bullets from it. Lining decides how much coverage a shopper gets, so "Unlined" is as useful a value as "Fully lined".

## The rules

| Rule | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Required | Yes, in women's bras |
| Length | At most 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, shared by every variant in the style group |
| Content | Fully lined, partially lined with the location, or unlined; add removable when the lining comes out |

State the extent first, then the place and the detail:

| Situation | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Lining throughout | Fully lined |
| Lining in one area | Partially lined at the cups, at the band, at the front panel |
| No lining | Unlined |
| Lining that comes out | Removable lining, removable cup lining |

The shared Bloomingdale's instructions name bodice, skirt and hood as lining locations because tops, dresses and outerwear use the same field; for a bra the locations are the cups, the band, the wings or the front panel. When the description is silent, look at the interior and back-view images. A visible second layer inside the cup means lined; a single layer of mesh means unlined. If nothing in the source or the images shows the lining, leave the field blank and add the detail to the product description so the required field can be filled.

Lining and cup construction sit close together. Whether a cup is padded, molded or sheer belongs in [Cups](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb1-womens-bras); this field is about the lining layer alone.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fully lined | Good | Extent stated |
| Partially lined at the cups | Good | Extent and location |
| Unlined | Good | A complete value for a sheer or mesh bra |
| Removable cup lining | Good | Extent, location and that it comes out |
| Lined for comfort | Weak | Extent unclear, "for comfort" adds nothing |
| Lining | Weak | Says neither how much nor where |
| Lined cups on the black colorway only | Weak | Describes one colorway |
| It is fully lined. | Weak | Sentence with a trailing period |

## Common mistakes

- Writing "padded" here; padding is a Cups detail.
- Saying "lined" without the extent when the source says only the cups are lined.
- Forgetting "Unlined" on a sheer or mesh bra and leaving the required field empty.
- Describing a lining that only one colorway has.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Lining as a required text field on the parent listing for products placed in a women's bras category on Bloomingdale's. The AI agent reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images (interior, back and cup views in particular), and writes one phrase of at most 254 characters with no trailing period giving the extent, location and removability of the lining. When nothing in the source shows the lining the field is left blank for you to complete. The value is set once per style group and mirrored to every colorway and size. A listing with this field empty is held as incomplete until it is filled; see [required fields and listing readiness](/help/channels-listings/required-fields-and-listing-readiness).

The same field is optional for [tops](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb9-womens-tops) and required for [dresses](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb11-womens-dresses). Related bras fields are [Cups](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb1-womens-bras) and [Support & Construction](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb4-womens-bras), and everything else is in the [Bloomingdale's field directory](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Lining required for women's bras on Bloomingdale's?

Yes. Every bra listing needs a lining value before it can be submitted, and "Unlined" counts.

### How is Lining different from Cups?

Lining describes the extra fabric layer: how much, where and whether it comes out. Cups describes the cup construction: padded, molded, sheer, underwire or wireless.

### The product copy never mentions lining. What do I do?

Check the interior and back-view images. If they show a second layer, write where it is; if they show a single layer, write "Unlined". If nothing shows it, add the detail to your product description so the field can be filled.

### Can the lining differ between colorways?

No. The field lives on the parent listing, so every colorway and size in the style group shares one lining value.
