The bloomers were not actually invented by Amelia J. Bloomer. Bloomer caused their popularity by writing about them in her newspaper, the Lily, and wearing them in public, along with the famous Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Amelia Bloomer did not invent bloomers; she popularized and advocated for their use as a more comfortable and practical alternative to the restrictive women's fashion of the time. Bloomers were named after her because she was a vocal supporter of the reform movement for women's clothing in the mid-19th century.
