I made these a few years ago, but as they were always meant to go with this set, I don't mind (officially) sharing them with you now.
Bloomers! I love bloomers. I wear bloomers with my "IRL" (in real life) skirts when I can. My thighs are the kind of thighs that rub together (sadly) and having the ability to wear pants under a skirt is a boon. Additionally, with how much I move around at events and the like, I sometimes have to hike-up my skirts. Bloomers keep me from showing off too much leg.

Bloomers do not have to be a big deal. I made these without a pattern, and in the same way that I make pants. The big difference is that they are a touch shorter and then I ran a channel with some elastic below the knee to make the ruffle.

| What is a pair of bloomers without some fluffy lace? |
Oh, and I added some lace to the ruffle. Because bloomers need lace. I am sure it is a rule somewhere.

A tip on adding lace to a ruffle. Don't put the edge of the lace on the outside of your ruffle-hem. Put it on the inside, and try to keep your "stitching-on-the-lace" seam in line with your hem stitching. It just makes it look cleaner.
