You know how Miriam has black, poofy shorts under her dress/skirt that look like fancy short-shorts? Would anyone happen to know if there's a proper name for whatever type or style of clothes they are? I know it's not really important. It's just a small little thing I thought about and realized there's probably a more specific name or word to describe Miriam's shorts than just 'poofy shorts'. Here's some official artwork if anyone needs a reference.

It's more like a mix between boredom, curiosity, and the desire to know if there was something better to call the poofy shorts in the future if there's any sort of discussion around them for things like animations or other art/visual-related things. Thanks for the info, though! ...But at the same time, I kinda want to keep calling them poofy shorts if the need arises. It feels like a more direct/straightforward/blunt and easier way to describe them, and typing or saying "lolita bloomers" feels weirdly specific and nitpicky to me for some reason.

If IGA doesn't give me what I want from Bloodstained, I'm just going to email him pictures of myself in lolita bloomers/poofy shorts until the changes I want to see are made. It's a perfect, flawless method of feedback between the game's creative team and myself the community.

Cute is for otaku buying anime character merchandise in the Akihabara district. I'm going to use my lolita bloomers/poofy shorts for the "timeless art of seduction" when it comes to IGA. ...Magnificent. On a more serious note, I can see the term "lolita bloomers" being useful for cosplayers who are having a hard time finding or buying the right things for their costumes and want to put extra detail and effort into them. There's probably a few stores that sell stuff like that out there.

Just "bloomers" does it imo, and that's not so long/specific as to sound odd in conversation or tyipng it out. If you Google image search that word, you'll turn up underwear that's pretty much the same as what Miriam wears.
I learned about this type of underwear from Ace Attorney actually, Trucy's magic underwear she pulls things out of.

I viewed them as actual shorts under a skirt similar to that one scientific railgun or index anime where that one girl has beige shorts under her school uniform, and I thought bloomers were the style of shorts that school gym uniforms have in Japan.

It might be less confusing if you use the word "undergarment," since that has a different connotation than "underwear" in modern use. They are meant to be worn under a skirt, and never as an outer garment like normal shorts. Japanese "bloomers" are completely different, and are so in name only. Here is what the original bloomers looked like:

Directoire knickers sprang to my mind at first but, after googling them, I'm somewhat off the mark. Still, Victorian underwear appears closer to pillowcases than knickers.
I suspect Goobsausage will rename Miriam's Room ... Bloomer Boudoir.

It's weird she has underwear at all, as I remember Victorian Historians came through my middle school and explained that they were not wearing any underwear under their dresses because women never did that during the Victorian Era. They said it is also why men would bow when helping women into carriages so they could get a good upskirt. Plus showing leg back then is like going around today with breasts bared. Miriam is super sexual for the time period.

thats cause what we call underwear and what they considered 'underwear' are 2 completely different things, we look at thongs and gstrings today as these debauched things trashy women wear, yet the earliest known underwear were the thongs the egyptians wore, the victorian garments were poofy knickers like the pics above that added more poofy to the already absurdly poofy poofyness of victorian buttdresses, also victorian era didnt start till the late 1830s and a lot of the prudishness of 'victorian morality' comes from when the pendulum swung back hard from the way more relaxed sexuality of the georgian and early-mid victorian eras, there was a point women were dying because theyd walk around in sheer wet clothing in winter because that was fashionable at the time, so yeah plus while the time frame is in the late 1700s (georgian era), her showing leg and the mix of both the french knickers, the short skirted corset dress, the cavalier boots, and the armored off hand and loose bell sleeve all fit into this really fun mix of fantastical and realistic >P i made one of these and wore it to renfaire once, i would NOT want to storm a castle in it and thats the incredibly light version, imagine adding 10 lbs of ruffle under that skirt >.<
