Vendor Advice on Bloomingdale's Marketplace is the brand's own word on how a pair of bottoms is meant to fit: relaxed, slim, tapered, high-waisted, sitting at the natural waist. This page covers the version of the field in the women's bottoms department: jeans, pants, shorts, skirts and leggings. It is optional, 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, next to the sizing phrase and the measurements.
The rules
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Required | No, optional in women's bottoms |
| Length | At most 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, shared by every variant in the style group |
| Content | The intended fit as the brand describes it; blank when the source gives no fit intent |
The bullet answers "how is this supposed to sit on the body?" in the brand's voice. The usual openers are "Designed for a ..." and "Intended to ...": "Designed for a relaxed fit", "Designed for a slim, tapered fit", "Intended to sit at the natural waist", "Designed for a cropped, straight-leg fit". Take the wording from the product description or the brand's fit notes. When the source says nothing about intended fit, leave the field blank instead of inventing a fit from the photos.
Vendor Advice is about intent, and it sits beside two neighbors that are about something else. Whether the item runs small or large is Sizing Information, which takes one of Bloomingdale's set phrases. The shape of the leg below the knee is Leg Silhouette. A relaxed fit can still run true to size, so the fields do not overlap.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Designed for a relaxed fit through the hip and thigh | Good | Intent plus where it applies |
| Designed for a slim, tapered fit | Good | The brand's fit description in one phrase |
| Intended to sit at the natural waist with a straight leg | Good | Rise intent and leg intent from the brand's copy |
| Fits true to size | Weak | That is the Sizing Information phrase, not vendor advice |
| Slim | Weak | Too short to tell the shopper anything the leg silhouette does not |
| Looks slim in the photos | Weak | Guessed from images with no source fit intent; leave it blank |
| Relaxed fit in the light wash, slim in the dark wash | Weak | Varies by colorway |
Common mistakes
- Repeating the sizing phrase ("order one size up") here.
- Inventing a fit intent because the field looks empty.
- Writing a full sentence with a period.
- Describing a fit that differs between colorways in the same style group.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Vendor Advice as an optional 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, and writes one phrase of at most 254 characters with no trailing period stating the fit the brand intends. When the source gives no fit intent the field is left blank rather than guessed. The value is set once per style group and mirrored to every colorway and size. See what gets filled in automatically for how this fits with the rest of a listing.
Related women's bottoms fields are Rise Type & Measurement, Inseam Type & Measurement and Model's Measurements & wearing a size X. Everything else is in the Bloomingdale's field directory.
Frequently asked questions
Is Vendor Advice required for women's bottoms on Bloomingdale's?
No. It is optional and stays blank when the brand has not described an intended fit.
How is Vendor Advice different from Sizing Information?
Vendor Advice says how the item is designed to fit (relaxed, slim, tapered). Sizing Information says whether to order your normal size, a size up or a size down, using one of Bloomingdale's set phrases.
The description does not mention fit. Can I describe the fit from the photos?
No. Leave the field blank. The bullet is the brand's guidance, and a fit read off a photograph is a guess.
Can I write more than one fit note?
Yes, in one phrase under 254 characters: "Designed for a relaxed fit through the hip with a tapered leg".
