Bloomers were a type of loose pant for women. Think long loose harem pants gathered at the knee. This was popularized by Amelia Bloomer who wrote about them in her paper The Lily. It was the first American attempt for women to wear loose pants rather than the restrictive corseted fashions of the 1800's. Their importance was that it was very scandalous, similar to wearing your underwear in public as acceptable clothing. See the link Bloomer Girls.
Over time, the bloomer pants became shorter although still very full in the seat. They eventually became shorts with a tighter cuff on the leg, giving a rather "fluffy" look in the back. See the link.
Because bloomers looked similar to ladies' underwear of the time, the name stuck to lower half underwear known as panties today. In the 1950's gym uniforms for girls were typically a shirt and bloomer shorts. Occasionally designers will try to bring back the bloomer style.
