Wikipedia
Bloomers
Bloomers, also called the bloomer, the Turkish dress, the American dress, or simply reform dress, are divided women's garments for the lower body. They were developed in the 19th century as a healthful and comfortable alternative to the heavy, constricting dresses worn by American women. They take their name from their best-known advocate, the women's rights activist Amelia Bloomer.
ChatGPT
bloomers
Bloomers are a type of women's clothing that was introduced in the 19th century, originally consisting of loose, baggy trousers gathered at the ankles and worn under a short dress or skirt. They were named after Amelia Bloomer, a women's rights activist who promoted this style of clothing. Today, the term can also refer to various types of loose-fitting undergarments or outerwear for women, such as a divided skirt or loose-fitting shorts. These items provide more coverage than traditional underwear and less restriction than tight-fitting trousers. Bloomers can also refer to a type of clothing for young girls, particularly a combined top-and-shorts garment, or a loose-fitting garment for babies, often used with cloth diapers.
