# Bloomingdale's Sizing Information (Women's Jeans, Women's Pants & Capris, Women's Shorts and 1 more) Field Guide

> Fits small, order one size up; Fits large, order one size down; Fits true to size, order your normal size. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Sizing Information** on Bloomingdale's Marketplace tells a shopper whether to order their usual size, a size up or a size down. This page covers the version of the field in the women's bottoms department: jeans, pants, shorts, skirts and leggings. 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 shows it as a size and fit bullet on the product page. A missing value stops the listing from being submitted; a wrong one drives returns.

## The rules

| Rule | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Required | Yes, in women's bottoms |
| Length | At most 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One of Bloomingdale's set phrases, exactly as written, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, shared by every variant in the style group |
| Content | Fit guidance only; no model size, no measurements |

Bloomingdale's accepts one of these phrases and nothing else:

| Phrase | Use it when |
| --- | --- |
| Fits small, order one size up | The style runs small: fitted, structured, non-stretch or bodycon cuts, or the brand says so |
| Fits large, order one size down | The style runs large: oversized, boxy or relaxed cuts, or the brand says so |
| Fits true to size, order your normal size | The brand says it fits true to size, or nothing in the source suggests otherwise |

Copy the phrase exactly. "Runs small", "Order a size up" or "True to size" are paraphrases, and a paraphrase means the bullet no longer matches the one Bloomingdale's shows across the site.

## Choosing the phrase

Start with the brand's own fit guidance in the product description or attributes. A line like "this pant runs small, we recommend sizing up" settles it. With no explicit guidance, judge from the silhouette and the fabric: a rigid, non-stretch denim in a skinny cut leans toward "Fits small"; a wide-leg pull-on pant in a drapey knit leans toward "Fits large"; anything in between, or anything you are unsure about, defaults to "Fits true to size, order your normal size".

Keep everything else out of the bullet. The model's height and the size worn belong in [Model's Measurements & wearing a size X](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/product-dimensions7-womens-bottoms), garment measurements in [Measurements based on size X](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/product-dimensions6-womens-bottoms), and the brand's intended fit (relaxed, slim, tapered) in [Vendor Advice](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/product-dimensions2-womens-bottoms).

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fits true to size, order your normal size | Good | The default phrase, used when nothing says otherwise |
| Fits small, order one size up | Good | Right for a rigid, fitted cut the brand says runs small |
| Fits large, order one size down | Good | Right for an oversized or relaxed pull-on style |
| Runs small | Weak | Paraphrase; Bloomingdale's wants the exact phrase |
| Fits true to size. Model is 5'10" wearing size 27 | Weak | Extra content and a period; model details have their own field |
| Fits small in the black wash | Weak | Describes one colorway; the value covers the whole style group |

## Common mistakes

- Rewording the phrase or shortening it.
- Adding a trailing period.
- Leaving it blank because the brand gave no fit guidance; use the true-to-size default.
- Guessing "Fits small" from a single customer comment with no support in the source data.
- Writing a different value for one wash or color.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Sizing Information as a required text field on the parent listing for products placed in a women's bottoms category on Bloomingdale's. The AI agent reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images. When the source carries fit guidance it picks the matching phrase; when it does not, it infers from fit notes, silhouette and fabric stretch, and falls back to "Fits true to size, order your normal size". It writes the phrase exactly, with no measurements, model size or trailing period. 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).

A separate copy of the field, [Sizing Information (Sports Bras only)](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/product-dimensions1-womens-bras), covers the bras department. Everything else is in the [Bloomingdale's field directory](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Sizing Information required for women's bottoms on Bloomingdale's?

Yes. Every women's bottoms listing needs one of the set phrases before it can be submitted.

### Can I write my own fit sentence instead of Bloomingdale's phrase?

No. Bloomingdale's only accepts "Fits small, order one size up", "Fits large, order one size down" or "Fits true to size, order your normal size", spelled exactly that way.

### The brand gives no fit guidance. Which phrase do I use?

Judge from the cut and fabric if they clearly point one way; otherwise use "Fits true to size, order your normal size".

### Can I include the model's size or garment measurements here?

No. Those go in Model's Measurements & wearing a size X and Measurements based on size X. This field holds the fit phrase only.

### Can different colorways of the same style have different sizing information?

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