Sizing info is an optional sizing bullet on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the kids and baby shoes department. It tells a parent whether the shoe runs small, large or true to size, in one of the exact phrases Bloomingdale's prints on every product page.
Bloomingdale's accepts one of these values and nothing else:
| Phrase | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Fits small, order one size up | The shoe runs narrow or short for its marked size |
| Fits large, order one size down | The shoe runs roomy or long for its marked size |
| Fits true to size, order your normal size | The shoe fits as marked, or you have no evidence otherwise |
The rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Required | No, but Bloomingdale's shows the bullet on every page, so fill it |
| Level | Parent. One value per style, shared by every color and size |
| Value | One of the exact phrases above, word for word |
| Extras | No model size, no measurements, no second sentence |
| Length | Osello accepts up to 4096 characters here, but the phrase is what fits; keep it to the phrase alone |
| Form | No trailing period |
Choosing the phrase
Start with your own fit guidance: a fit note in the description, a metafield, a size-chart footnote. With none, judge from the construction. A stiff, structured shoe with no stretch tends to run small; a soft, roomy or adjustable style tends to run large. When nothing points either way, use "Fits true to size, order your normal size". Say why it runs small or large in Fit help, fit enhancement and comfort details, and put the size run and age ranges in Size Range Definition.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Fits true to size, order your normal size | Good | Exact phrase |
| Fits small, order one size up | Good | Exact phrase |
| Runs small | Weak | Not one of the accepted phrases |
| Fits small, order one size up. Model wears a size 10. | Weak | Second sentence, model size and a period |
Common mistakes
- Paraphrasing the phrase. Bloomingdale's matches it exactly.
- Adding measurements or a model's size. Those have other homes on the page.
- Leaving it blank when a default is available. "Fits true to size, order your normal size" is the fallback.
How Osello fills this field
Osello fills Sizing info once per parent listing for kids and baby shoes. It reads your fit guidance from the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, infers small or large from the construction when nothing is stated, and defaults to "Fits true to size, order your normal size". The value is always one of Bloomingdale's exact phrases with no trailing period and shared by every color and size of the style. The rest of the shoe attributes are in the Bloomingdale's field directory.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sizing info required for kids and baby shoes on Bloomingdale's?
No, it is optional in this department, but the bullet appears on every product page and a default phrase is always available, so there is no reason to leave it blank.
Can I write my own fit sentence?
No. Use one of the exact phrases: "Fits small, order one size up", "Fits large, order one size down" or "Fits true to size, order your normal size".
Which phrase do I use when I have no fit data?
"Fits true to size, order your normal size". Switch only when your data or the construction gives a reason.
