means Loose, gathered trousers worn by women (originally as a liberating alternative to restrictive skirts, later as a term for a style of underpants) — a garment whose name became bigger than the woman who championed it.

from Named after Amelia Bloomer, a 19th-century American women's rights advocate who promoted the loose trouser-and-tunic outfit in her newspaper, The Lily — though she didn't invent the garment itself, just gave it its biggest publicity push. The press seized on her name, turned 'bloomers' into a punchline, and the joke outlived the politics: the word drifted from a symbol of dress reform to a cutesy term for underwear.
