# Bloomingdale's Sizing Information (Women's Blazers, Women's Coats, Women's Jackets and 4 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** is a required attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's outerwear department. It tells the shopper how a coat or jacket runs against standard sizing, using one of the set phrases Bloomingdale's has written: "Fits small, order one size up", "Fits large, order one size down" or "Fits true to size, order your normal size". Bloomingdale's shows the value on the product page, and a listing without it does not pass review.

Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares its size and fit definitions with Macy's. Sizing Information exists in every women's apparel department; this page covers women's outerwear, where layering and the presence or absence of stretch make the fit call harder than on a T-shirt.

## The rules

| Rule | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Required | Yes, on every women's outerwear listing |
| Level | Parent listing, one value shared by every color and size |
| Length | Up to 254 characters, spaces included |
| Format | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Allowed values | Bloomingdale's exact phrases, below |
| Not allowed | Model size, measurements, size chart data, fabric notes |

The permitted phrases:

| Phrase | Use it when |
| --- | --- |
| Fits small, order one size up | The garment runs tight: fitted, structured, non-stretch or bodycon cuts |
| Fits large, order one size down | The garment runs roomy: oversized, boxy or relaxed cuts |
| Fits true to size, order your normal size | The garment fits standard sizing, and the default when nothing suggests otherwise |

Use the wording exactly as written; a paraphrase ("Runs a little small") breaks the consistency shoppers expect across the site. One phrase only: do not combine two, and do not append "in the shoulders" or "through the bust". Detail like that belongs in the description.

## Deciding which phrase applies

Start with your own fit guidance. If your product data, tech pack or e-commerce copy already says the coat runs small, use "Fits small, order one size up". When nothing is stated, read the fit notes, silhouette, fabric stretch and images:

| Signal | Points to |
| --- | --- |
| "Fitted", "tailored", "slim", "cropped", "structured" | Fits small |
| Non-stretch shell with a close cut, bodycon or corseted styling | Fits small |
| "Oversized", "boxy", "relaxed", "boyfriend", "cocoon" | Fits large |
| Dropped shoulders, wide body in the flat-lay | Fits large |
| Standard cut, no fit language either way | Fits true to size |

A coat cut to be worn over a sweater is designed with room; it is "fits large" only when it is oversized beyond the intended layering. The phrase describes the garment against its own size label.

Because the value sits on the parent listing, it applies to every colorway and every size in the run. A style whose plus sizes run differently from its straight sizes is best listed as separate style groups so each can carry its own phrase.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fits true to size, order your normal size | Good | Exact Bloomingdale's phrase |
| Fits small, order one size up | Good | Exact phrase, correct for a fitted non-stretch blazer |
| Fits large, order one size down | Good | Exact phrase, correct for an oversized cocoon coat |
| Runs small | Weak | Paraphrase; not one of the set phrases |
| Fits true to size, order your normal size. | Weak | Trailing period |
| Fits true to size; model is 5'9" wearing size S | Weak | Model data belongs in Model's Measurements |
| Fits small in the shoulders, true to size elsewhere | Weak | Two judgments where one phrase is required |

## Common mistakes

- Leaving the field blank on a listing. It is required, and the listing is held at review.
- Rewriting the phrase in brand voice. Bloomingdale's wants its own wording.
- Putting measurements or the model's size here. Those have their own fields: [Model's Measurements & wearing a size X](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/product-dimensions2-womens-outerwear) and the [size chart](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/size-chart-image).
- Defaulting everything to "true to size" when your return data says a style runs small.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Sizing Information as a required parent-level text field on women's outerwear listings, so one phrase covers every colorway and size of the style. The AI uses your source fit guidance when your product data has it; otherwise it infers the fit from the fit notes, silhouette, fabric stretch and images, reading fitted, structured or non-stretch cuts as running small and oversized, boxy or relaxed cuts as running large, and defaults to "Fits true to size, order your normal size" when nothing points either way. It writes one of Bloomingdale's exact phrases, under 254 characters with no trailing period, and never adds a model size or measurements. Because the field is required, a listing without a value shows as incomplete until it is filled; see [required fields and listing readiness](/help/channels-listings/required-fields-and-listing-readiness). If your brand has a standing fit position, set it with [custom instructions](/help/ai-prompts/custom-instructions) so every outerwear listing follows it.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Sizing Information required on Bloomingdale's?

Yes. In the women's outerwear department it is a required attribute, and a listing without it does not pass review.

### Can I write my own fit wording?

No. Bloomingdale's expects one of its set phrases: "Fits small, order one size up", "Fits large, order one size down" or "Fits true to size, order your normal size". Use the wording exactly.

### The coat runs small in the arms but true elsewhere. Which phrase do I use?

Pick the single phrase that gives the shopper the best size outcome. If most customers would need to size up to get the sleeves right, use "Fits small, order one size up" and explain the arm fit in the description.

### Does Osello set the same phrase for every color of a style?

Yes. The field lives on the parent listing, so one phrase is shared by every colorway and size. If part of the size run fits differently, list it as its own style group.

### Do I add the model's height and size here?

No. Sizing Information is the fit phrase only. The model's height and worn size go in [Model's Measurements & wearing a size X](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/product-dimensions2-womens-outerwear).
