Were did the bloomer come from?

Answer 1

I think it's Abigail Bloomer, a woman who went bicycling one day with big, baggy shorts 'cuz you can't wear a dress when you bicycle. Not sure on the name though.

Answer 2

The bloomer, a type of baggy women's garment, was popularized by Amelia Bloomer in the mid-19th century. It was designed to provide women with a more comfortable and practical alternative to the restrictive clothing of the time, such as corsets and heavy skirts. Bloomers allowed women more freedom of movement and became associated with the early feminist movement.
