Antique Cotton Embroidered Bloomers

Antique Cotton Embroidered Bloomers Antique white cotton bloomers dating to the mid-late 19th century. Originally worn beneath dresses and petticoats, these bloomers are cut with a generous and airy divided leg silhouette. The softly gathered drawstring waistband in back allows for an adjustable fit, while each leg is finished with a narrow crocheted lace edging that lends a light, feminine finish. Above the hem, hand-worked floral embroidery is executed in satin stitch. Amazingly, these bloomers retain an original maker's tag which adds to the historical provenance of this piece.
