# Bloomingdale's Sizing Information (Sports Bras only) (Women's Bras) 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 (Sports Bras only)** is the fit bullet in Bloomingdale's women's bras department, and it applies to sports bras alone. It tells the shopper whether to order her usual size, a size up or a size down, in one of the exact phrases Bloomingdale's accepts. The field is optional in this department, so a listing can be submitted without it, but a sports bra without fit guidance leaves the shopper guessing and a wrong guess turns into a return.

Everyday bras, bralettes and shapewear leave this field blank. Their size guidance runs through the size chart and the cup and band attributes instead.

## The rules

| Rule | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Required | No |
| Applies to | Sports bras only |
| Maximum length | 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One of Bloomingdale's exact phrases, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, one value for the whole style |
| Department | Women's bras |

## The accepted phrases

Bloomingdale's asks for the phrase verbatim, so there is no room for rewording.

| How the bra runs | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Small | Fits small, order one size up |
| Large | Fits large, order one size down |
| As labeled | Fits true to size, order your normal size |

Pick the phrase from the brand's own fit guidance when it exists. With none, judge from the fit notes, the silhouette, the fabric stretch and the images: a fitted, structured or non-stretch sports bra tends to run small, a relaxed or oversized one tends to run large, and anything in between is true to size. The bullet is shared across the style, so never describe one color or one band size.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fits true to size, order your normal size | Good | Exact phrase |
| Fits small, order one size up | Good | Exact phrase for a compressive fit |
| Runs a little snug, size up if between sizes | Weak | Not one of the accepted phrases |
| Fits true to size. Model wears a size S | Weak | Adds model size and a second sentence |
| Fits small, order one size up. | Weak | Trailing period |

## Common mistakes

- Filling it for an everyday bra or a bralette. The field is for sports bras only.
- Paraphrasing the phrase. "True to size" alone is not the value.
- Adding measurements, the model's size or cup guidance. Those belong in [Model's Measurements](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/product-dimensions2-womens-bras) and [Cups](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb1-womens-bras).
- Writing a different fit for one colorway. The value is one per style.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Sizing Information (Sports Bras only) as an optional parent-level text field capped at 254 characters. When a women's bras listing is filled in, the AI checks whether the product is a sports bra, reads the description first, then the attributes, then the images, and returns one of the exact phrases, defaulting to "Fits true to size, order your normal size" when nothing points to small or large. The value is set once per style and shared by every size and colorway. See [how Osello AI fills listing fields](/help/ai-prompts/how-osello-ai-fills-listing-fields) for the source order, and [custom instructions](/help/ai-prompts/custom-instructions) to tell it how a particular line runs.

## Frequently asked questions

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

No. It is optional in this department and only applies to sports bras. Osello will submit a listing without it.

### Can I write my own fit sentence?

No. Bloomingdale's accepts only its exact phrases: "Fits small, order one size up", "Fits large, order one size down" or "Fits true to size, order your normal size".

### What do I enter for a regular underwire bra?

Nothing. Leave the field blank for everything that is not a sports bra.

### Can one colorway run smaller than another?

The value is set on the parent listing and shared by every variant, so pick the phrase that describes the style as a whole.
