@kierathroughantiquity: Bloomers may look like a small piece of fashion history, but in the 1850s, women wearing trousers was considered genuinely scandalous. They offered women more freedom to move, cycle and work, whilst challenging the idea of what women were ‘supposed’ to wear. The story of bloomers is really a story about comfort, independence, and how even a pair of trousers could become a social statement. #womensfashion #fashionhistory #fashionrevolution #dresshistory #victorianfashion
