Bloomers
The original bloomers were an article of women's clothing invented by
Elizabeth Smith Miller but popularized by Amelia Bloomer in the early 1850's,
hence the name. They were like long baggy pants narrowing to a cuff at the
ankles (worn below a skirt), intended to preserve Victorian decency while
being less of a hindrance to women's activities than the long full skirts of the
period.
They were worn by a few women in the 1850s, but were widely ridiculed in
the press. These early bloomers were partly an attempt to adapt young girls'
short skirts and pantalettes to adult women's attire.
