Vintage Crochet Bloomer Potholders

You may have seen the cute little dress potholders, but what about the bloomers? These little shorts were often called ladies bloomers, and have a similar history to the dress potholders. Vintage crochet potholders like these were made in the late 1940’s, after the war, though about 1960. The bloomers were often detailed with lace or colorful edgings to give them a fine crochet or delicate appearance. It is obvious the bloomers were made to be a potholder if you find a loop on one corner to hang the potholder when not in use. This sets the bloomers apart from being doll dress up clothing for children.
