Lining is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's tops department. It says whether a top is lined and where, and Bloomingdale's shows the value as a feature bullet on the product page. Bloomingdale's definition asks for fully or partially lined plus the location of the lining.
Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares its attribute definitions with Macy's. Several apparel departments carry a lining field; this page covers women's tops. Dresses use the required Lining and bras use the required Lining.
The rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Required | No |
| Level | Parent listing, one value for every color and size |
| Length | Up to 254 characters, spaces included |
| Format | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Content | Fully lined, partially lined with location, unlined, or removable lining |
Write "Fully lined", "Unlined", or "Partially lined at the bodice" with the location, and say when the lining is removable. Sheer blouses are a common case where "Unlined" is useful information for the shopper. When the description is silent, the open-front, hem, cuff and interior photos often show a lining; when nothing shows one, leave the field blank rather than guessing.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Fully lined | Good | Complete answer for a lined top |
| Partially lined at the bodice | Good | Partial lining with location |
| Unlined | Good | Tells the shopper a sheer top is sheer |
| Removable quilted lining | Good | Names the removable feature |
| Lined | Weak | No indication of full or partial |
| Silky lining feels great on skin. | Weak | Sentence with a period, no coverage detail |
Common mistakes
- Writing "Lined" without saying fully or partially. Bloomingdale's definition asks for the coverage.
- Skipping "Unlined" on a sheer blouse. That is exactly what a shopper wants to know before buying.
- Putting the lining fiber here instead of in Product Material. A short mention is fine, the full fiber breakdown is not.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Lining as an optional parent-level text field on women's tops listings, so one phrase is shared by every variant. The AI reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, including the open-front, hem, cuff and interior shots, and writes at most 254 characters with no trailing period. When nothing states or shows a lining it leaves the field blank. Brand vocabulary can be set with custom instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Is Lining required for women's tops on Bloomingdale's?
No. It is optional in the women's tops department. The dresses and bras departments have required versions of the field.
Should I fill in "Unlined"?
Yes, when the source confirms it. "Unlined" is a legitimate value and helps shoppers judge sheerness and weight.
How do I describe a lining that only covers part of the top?
Write "Partially lined" and the location: "Partially lined at the bodice" or "Partially lined at the front panel".
