Bust, Hip, Waist Fit Details is a required fit bullet in Bloomingdale's women's dresses department. It tells the shopper how the dress sits at the bust, the waist and the hip: fitted, relaxed, cinched by a belt, flexible through an elasticized waist. A women's dresses listing cannot be submitted from Osello until it has a value, and Bloomingdale's shows it in the size and fit section of the product page, where it does more to prevent a return than almost any other bullet.
The rules
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Required | Yes |
| Maximum length | 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, one value for the whole style |
| Department | Women's dresses |
Describe the fit at the bust, the waist and the hip, wherever the source supports it, in one phrase: "Fitted at the bust and waist, relaxed at the hip", "Relaxed through the bust, fitted at the waist", "Belt cinches the waist", "Elasticized waist for a flexible fit". Judge from the brand's fit notes first and the visible silhouette second. The bullet is shared across the style, so never describe one color or one size. The instruction is to leave the field blank when nothing supports a statement, but because the bullet is required, a blank blocks submission, so make sure the source data or the images give the AI something to work with.

Common mistakes
- Putting the size guidance here. "Order one size up" belongs in Sizing Information.
- Putting the fabric stretch here. That is Fabric Stretch/Give.
- Quoting measurements. Inches belong in Dress Length based on size X and the size chart.
- Describing the model's fit. The model's size goes in Model's Measurements & wearing a size X.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Bust, Hip, Waist Fit Details as a required parent-level text field capped at 254 characters. When a women's dresses listing is filled in, the AI reads the description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase naming the fit at the bust, waist and hip that the fit notes and silhouette support. The value is set once per style and shared by every size and colorway. Because the field is required, the listing shows as not ready until it has a value; see required fields and listing readiness. Use custom instructions to give the AI your line's fit language.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bust, Hip, Waist Fit Details required for women's dresses on Bloomingdale's?
Yes. It is one of the required fit bullets in this department, and Osello will not submit the listing without it.
Do I have to name the bust, waist and hip every time?
No. Name the ones the source supports. "Belt cinches the waist" or "Relaxed through the bust and hip" is a complete value.
Is this the same as "runs true to size"?
No. Size guidance belongs in Sizing Information. This bullet describes where the dress is fitted and where it is relaxed.
Can I include measurements?
No. Keep this bullet to fit words. Garment measurements have their own dress length bullet and the size chart.
