    Default Where does everyone buy their bloomers?

    Ah, I'm just kidding. But seriously, does anyone know where to get a decent pair of bloomers these days? I've decided not to wear pants anymore.

    We're having 100 degree days here in Texas already, and the humidity tends to be between 60-90%. Jeans absorb the moisture in the air till if feels like I just fell in a lake without clothes on. Dresses are better, but my thighs sweat and get sticky and I hate it.

    Bloomers are clearly the answer. But where does a girl come by such things in this day and age?

    Bloomers as in below the knee length loose trousers? Possibly with lace? I make mine. Most Victorian reenactment clothing websites would have them as well.

    for example.

    You make bloomers!?! Can I pay you to make me a pair?

    I also found some pretty cool ones on ebay, both new and vintage. A lady on Etsy sells gorgeous linen pairs, but they are $89, and that is out of this pirate's budget at the moment.

    You'll see, Lexi. Bloomers will be the new black this summer. They keep your sweaty thighs from rubbing together, and yet still look dainty and appealing. All the kids will be wearing them.

    Probably! I make mine of various cottons, and generally pretty huge, but send me a pic of what you want! I love bloomers.

    Gaucho pants? I read your description and it took me forever to think of the name of them! Like these: ?

    Ach, gaucho pants are totally fantastic! The only problem is they totally don't match my style.

    I remember being in Texas in march and it was already like 80 degrees with hardcore humidity. I was at this like, gigantic emo/electro show and I was dying in my skinny jeans, lol.

    Skinny pants are not for Texas. In fact, I can't wear jeans at all this summer. The humidity makes them so heavy and sticky I want to die. Hence, bloomers.

    Gaucho pants are awesome! I wear them for yoga, but I don't know if I would just wear them around. I have this weird thing about not wearing "gym clothes" anywhere but the gym, or "yoga clothes" anywhere but the studio.

    They have these short pants you can wear too. I believe they are called . . . . . shorts?

    Kidding aside, I think one of my Austin girlfriends might have made a pair or two. Shall I inquire on your behalf? And will you be embracing other aspects of steampunk fashion?

    Bloomers! OK...how should we do this? What's your price range, estimated time of completion, and whatnot? I'm excited!
