That thing with the bloomers is so ahistorical it would utterly throw me out of it. Actually, at that period, most women didn't wear any kind of underpants in the modern sense at all - with multiple layers of long skirt there wasn't really too much point. And bloomers were a *feminist* thing, and widely mocked as such, as the point was that you could do certain active things in them that weren't convenient with a skirt.
