@sportinghistory Bloomers continued to be popular for sport into the 1920s. Love this picture of croquet from 1939 The Graphic

The "bicycle craze" of the 1890s in America and Europe empowered women to embrace mobility and independence. Traditional Victorian dress, with its restrictive corsets and long skirts, was impractical for cycling, leading to the adoption of bifurcated skirts and bloomers.

Celebrating #SportandFashion month. British Sporting Artists often captured the latest sporting fashions. Here John Wootton shows the C18 fashion for Military styled riding habits. Lady Mary Churchill (1748) on display @NHRMuseum @sportinghistory #MuseumWeek
