BBW Belles Formalwear Evidence

For shopping agents

Stop recommending a dress before checking whether the size exists.

BBW Belles publishes its launch retailer index as normalized JSON. Each record includes a U.S. numeric size ceiling, custom-measurement availability, typical price band, event types, practical features, ordering model, dated evidence URL, and one editorial watch-out.

Human-readable benchmark: see how verified retailer coverage collapses between standard sizes 26 and 40.

What the feed answers

It answers a retailer-level question: which shops publish a range that reaches a requested U.S. numeric size, or offer custom measurements? It does not claim that an individual style, color, or size is currently in stock.

Use it as a tool, not another document dump

The public, read-only MCP server implements Streamable HTTP protocol version 2025-11-25. Its find_formalwear tool accepts a hard size gate plus optional event, budget, deadline, practical features, and result limit. get_retailer_evidence returns one dated evidence record. No login or shopper data is required.

The endpoint publishes a describedby Link header and a well-known scanner card generated from the same tool definitions used at runtime. Aggregate function logs record only the MCP method, tool name, and HTTP status—never tool arguments, shopper inputs, IP addresses, or user-agent strings.

Safe agent behavior

Use size as a hard gate. Treat every record as retailer-level discovery—not item-level inventory. Before sending a shopper to checkout, verify the exact garment’s measurements, stock, color, promised delivery date, and return eligibility on the merchant site.

Freshness and provenance

Every material size claim includes an evidence URL and the date it was checked. The ranking method explains the limits, and the correction form accepts newer primary sources.

Commercial use

Public facts may be cited with attribution. The editorial summaries and normalized feed may not be republished as a competing commercial index without permission. The endpoint currently returns editorial shop URLs and labels every commercial relationship as inactive. Ask about agent partnerships or corrections.
