Hello! Did you have a specific inspiration or book in mind when you created your professor set or was it more about nailing down a general vibe/aesthetic?

Pretty much just an overall Dark Academia vibe mixed with the raw thexual power of MEN IN SLUTTY LITTLE GLASSES

I HAVE BEEN SPOILED!!!!! Thank YOU!!!! I am writing all of this down in my wee sewing book.

Hey bb, I am in need of costume help! I am searching for some long bloomers for a photoshoot. I'm gonna make my guy friend wear armor, bloomers and put on lipstick. It's gonna be great, I just don't know what the correct name of long bloomers would be? Or where to find them for men. He's a long boy (for context).

Hi! Sounds like a fun shoot! Undergarment terms are confusing but you’ve a few options to look up! (Note: I’m not sure if you’re looking for something medieval as per the armour or something around the time of bloomers so I’ll just yap and hopefully something helps)

“Bloomers” is a specifically Victorian-era coined word and garment but probably refers to the thing you have in mind, and probably the only thing Etsy or google will recognise to show you results. It’s complicated, but bloomers weren’t necessarily ladies “underpants” in the way we’d understand them. They were initially more akin to long, ballooned trousers and gathered at the ankle, meant to be visible below a dress or otherwise. As time went on, it started to refer to any ballooned trouser-like women’s garment that ended somewhere between the knee and ankle. Because of this, some drawers (rightmost photo) were referred to as bloomers no matter if plain or frilly/embroidered simply because they were puffy even if they weren’t worn exposed. The important difference is that Bloomers in the trouser sense were a fashion response in the fight for women’s rights, the term Bloomer came from their eventual association with the Victorian social advocate Amelia Bloomer.

They were different from pantaloons. Pantaloons were an early 19th c. men’s item, longer, and figure hugging ending at about the ankle and they replaced 18th c. breeches which fastened just below the knee (Left pic: breeches, right pic: pantaloons). Funnily enough, when searching images of “pantaloons” you’ll get a variety of women’s Victorian and Edwardian drawers, but pantaloons are the men’s garment, I’m not sure why it’s also used to refer to women’s underpants now.

Pantalettes were a type of women’s undergarment meant to be slightly seen and are generally slimmer and less balloony than bloomers (which didn’t technically exist yet) and were lightly frilled/embroidered and usually reached about the mid calf or ankle. Though their origins are quite old, they were most prevalent in the early-mid 19th century, stayed a bit longer for children’s fashion, then kinda fell out of fashion, not that any trouser-like underpants were popular and widely accepted with western women’s fashion to begin with. (Pantalettes below)

Then you have the word “drawers” which sort of refers to any period underpants in general. For women, drawers used to be just a fairly plain linen or cotton pair of short trousers starting somewhere in the 14th-15th c. but were also not widely adopted outside of specific regions, modesty occasions, or sport until the late 19th century, until they eventually became a staple for Edwardian women’s undergarments and became quite frilly in French designs. The term now loosely encompasses any women’s long underpants, so both bloomers and pantalettes and a variety of other underpants are all “drawers”. A lot of women’s drawers were also split-crotch, you didn’t tend to see them completely sewn closed as it made it easier to use the toilet.

I know I’ve referenced mainly women’s clothes here but there are some men’s clothing that has a slightly similar look to Victorian drawers. A basic pair of linen or cotton open leg drawers would suffice, you might look at 18th c. Western European underpants that looked very similar to drawstring linen breeches. If you want something more medieval to compliment the armour, I might also suggest Braies which were essentially just lower waisted breeches (Braies below)

Point is, because of the overlap and appearance, you’ll see bloomers that are technically pantalettes, pantalettes labelled as pantaloons, drawers that are bloomers, it’s all a bit confusing, but I hope that narrows down what you might be looking for.

As for where to find any of these for someone very tall, your best bet might be to get your hands on a pattern for Victorian drawers (I’ve seen some off Etsy or EBay) and see if it’s possible to attach the split legs if it has them and allow for some extra length in the legs for height as they may end more at the knees on a tall person rather than the mid calves. Or have a look about medieval reproduction sites for the Braies style. The good news is that because drawers are basically just plain pants made from white fabric, they’re quite a simple thing to cobble together and have it still be clear it’s old drawers.

Best of luck to your photoshoot!

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things
