Be different. Wear UNIQUE, QUALITY items ! Mix itVictorian Cotton Bloomers with Ruffled Hem & Antique Lace Appliqués
These stunning Victorian cotton bloomers are a true piece of history, featuring beautiful embellishments along the ruffled hem and sides. With their airy silhouette and delicate details, they are both elegant and effortlessly wearable. While originally meant as an undergarment, I think they make a fabulous beach cover-up or a unique statement piece for modern styling.
This piece had several signs of wear throughout, but it was simply too beautiful to let go. I carefully restored it by covering pinholes with antique lace appliqués, bringing it back to life in the most charming way. The result is truly unique—be sure to check all photos!
A rare and romantic find, perfect for vintage lovers who appreciate timeless craftsmanship!

Bloomers in the Victorian era were a type of undergarment worn by women as part of their layered dressing. They were essentially loose-fitting pants, often made of cotton or linen, with an open or split crotch design for practicality (since women wore multiple heavy layers and corsets, making undressing difficult). They were typically worn under long dresses or skirts as a modesty layer and for warmth.
By the late 19th century, bloomers evolved to be more decorative, with lace trims, ruffles, and embroidery, especially for wealthier women. Some were designed as full-length pantaloons, while others were knee-length or mid-calf, often gathered at the waist and cuffs with drawstrings or buttons.
Although primarily undergarments, bloomers also played a role in women’s early activewear. In the mid-1800s, women’s rights advocate Amelia Bloomer promoted them as part of a reform dress movement, encouraging looser, more practical clothing for women. While this version of bloomers wasn’t widely accepted at the time, it set the stage for future changes in women’s fashion.
By the early 20th century, bloomers became associated with sportswear and school uniforms for girls before transitioning into looser undergarments that would eventually lead to modern shorts and pajamas.
PLEASE CHECK MEASUREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASE! Antique hand made items where handmade and differ to standard sizes. Please check the measurements closely for determining fit. I do not give sizes for vintage items as women's sizes are not standardized and a majority of these dresses were homemade or specialty made to fit one person. Also if vintage items are size tagged they usually run smalller comparing to the actual sizes. A good method to check is to measure a similar item that fits and compare.
If you have any questions about the fit feel free to ask, I am happy to help.

Please Note :
Any accessories used in the picture are not included, there are there to show how the outfit could be worn or a decorative object. I need to be honest. I sell Vintage and Antique Clothing and I would say anything before 30s should be treated with care and worn with care. Mostly these items will be fragile especially 20s silk or Edwardian very fine Muslin. Some can not handle stress and will tear easily. Should be bought a size bigger where possible or should be a little loose on.
This is Vintage or antique, items will not look brand new modern clothing from the shops.
Things to consider when buying Edwardian or Victorian clothing:If an item is marked XS but looks loose and big! It maybe has a Medium Shoulder and Hip but the waist is Tiny! (Corsets!). It may look big and loose but the shoulders or opening of the arm will be small, or the waist.
- The sleeves may not be long to the wrist but more of a 3/4.
- Buttons also may vary in shape and size on the same blouse, these blouses are old and would have lost buttons along the way.
Happy to answer any question.
Thanks for visiting.
