Sizing info is a required product dimension bullet on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the kids and baby bottoms department. It tells a parent whether a pant, short, skirt or legging runs small, large or true to size, and Bloomingdale's wants the answer in one of its own set phrases. A kids and baby bottoms listing without it is incomplete and cannot be submitted from Osello. The value shows on the product page in the details section.
The rules
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Required | Yes |
| Maximum length | 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One of Bloomingdale's set phrases, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, one value for the whole style |
| Department | Kids and baby bottoms |
Bloomingdale's accepts exactly these phrases:
| Phrase | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Fits small, order one size up | The item is fitted, structured, non-stretch or otherwise runs tight for its labeled size |
| Fits large, order one size down | The item is oversized, boxy or relaxed and runs roomy for its labeled size |
| Fits true to size, order your normal size | The item matches the size on the label |
Nothing else belongs in the value: no model size, no measurements, no size chart notes, no second phrase. Because the bullet lives on the parent listing and Bloomingdale's shows one set of bullets for the whole grouping, it cannot describe one color or one size. If a style runs small only in the toddler range and true to size in big kids, pick the phrase that describes the style as a whole.
Choosing the phrase
Use the fit guidance in your own product data first. Many brands already carry a "runs small" or "true to size" note in the description or a metafield, and that note wins over any inference. When your data says nothing, read the fit notes, silhouette, fabric stretch and images:
- Fitted, structured, non-stretch or bodycon construction points to "Fits small, order one size up".
- Oversized, boxy or relaxed construction points to "Fits large, order one size down".
- With no signal either way, use "Fits true to size, order your normal size".
For kids bottoms specifically, a woven pant with no stretch and a fixed waistband is the typical "fits small" case, and a wide-leg or drop-crotch pant is the typical "fits large" case. Elastic or adjustable waistbands usually point to true to size.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Fits true to size, order your normal size | Good | One of the set phrases, exact spelling |
| Fits small, order one size up | Good | Correct phrase for a non-stretch woven pant |
| Fits large, order one size down | Good | Correct phrase for a relaxed, boxy short |
| Runs small | Weak | Not one of Bloomingdale's phrases |
| Fits true to size. Model is wearing size 5. | Weak | Adds a model size and a period |
| True to size in 2T to 4T, runs small in 5 to 7 | Weak | Describes individual sizes |
| Fits true to size, order your normal size / Fits small, order one size up | Weak | Two phrases in one value |
| Waist 20 in, inseam 14 in | Weak | Measurements belong in the size chart |
Common mistakes
- Paraphrasing the phrase ("runs true to size", "order a size up"). Copy Bloomingdale's wording exactly.
- Appending a model's size or a measurement. Put those in the Size Chart Image.
- Ending with a period. The value is a phrase, not a sentence.
- Describing one colorway or one size range. The bullet is shared by the whole style.
- Leaving the field blank because no fit guidance exists. The default is "Fits true to size, order your normal size".

How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Sizing info as a required parent-level text field capped at 254 characters and only shows it once the listing is in a kids and baby bottoms category. When the listing is filled in, the AI reads your product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and picks one of the set phrases, falling back to "Fits true to size, order your normal size" when nothing indicates otherwise. The value is written once per style and shared by every size and colorway. Each AI value carries a confidence score, so a low-confidence inference from images alone is easy to spot and correct before you submit. Until the field has a value, the listing shows as not ready in required fields and listing readiness. If your brand's fit guidance lives in a Shopify metafield, custom instructions can point the AI at it.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sizing info required for kids and baby bottoms on Bloomingdale's?
Yes. It is one of the required product dimension bullets in this department, and Osello will not submit the listing until it has a value.
Which phrases does Bloomingdale's accept?
"Fits small, order one size up", "Fits large, order one size down" and "Fits true to size, order your normal size", spelled exactly that way with no trailing period.
What do I enter when I have no fit data for a style?
Use "Fits true to size, order your normal size". Osello applies the same default when the description, attributes and images give no signal.
Can I add the model's size or the garment measurements?
No. The value is one phrase only. Measurements and model details belong in the size chart or the description.
Do I fill this once per style or once per size?
Once per style. The field is on the parent listing, and Bloomingdale's shows a single set of bullets for the whole grouping.
