A piece cannot go on the shelf without its measurements any more
Bazin · 15 November 2026
A buyer cannot try a dress on through a screen. Every other part of a listing is a description; the measurements are the only part that is a fact about the object rather than a claim about it. So the platform stopped letting pieces go out without one.
What a seller does now
The wizard has a step for it, between condition and description: bust, waist or length, in centimetres, taken on the garment flat. One of the three is enough to publish. A tape laid across a wrapper the buyer already owns, then times two for a circumference, is the whole of the technique.
What the database does now
The publish is two writes instead of one: the row goes in as a draft, the photographs and the measurements follow, and only then does the draft become an offer. A second trigger refuses the flip if no measurement row carries a number — and it refuses an object of nothing but nulls too, because a field the seller left empty is not a measurement. A piece that was already on the shelf when the rule arrived keeps its place, so no listing became un-editable overnight: the rule stands at the door, not at the dresses already inside.
Why the shop makes a claim it can check
The comparison pages, the occasion shelves and the piece page all say that a listing here publishes flat measurements in centimetres. That is a promise made against other marketplaces, and a promise a marketing page cannot keep on its own. The rulebook is enforced by the same database that stores the dresses, which is the only way this sentence can be true on the day you read it.
