(sorry about last question I sent you, I just noticed it already has an answer;;;) are bloomers usually tight? my thighs are usually very sensitive to tight clothing/weird fabric... Also, are short bloomers uncomfortable? I don't want to wear knee-length bloomers, but I heard the shorter the bloomers, the more uncomfortable they are. Is this true?
As a whole they’re not tight, they’re usually baggy to have a cute fluffy sort of look, they’re just gathered to your waist (obviously) and at the ends but they shouldn’t be tight. I usually recommend bloomers that are mid-thigh or a little lower. Not short, but not knee-length either. The reason short bloomers are sometimes uncomfortable is because they can bunch up when you sit and stand and the shorter the bloomers the faster they bunch.

Are bloomers meant to be worn at the natural waist like skirts and pettis? If most aren't, are there any you can think of that are? I just prefer wearing things at my natural waist because it feels better. Thank you!
Yes, they should be worn at your natural waist, right below where your skirt and petti sit (because obviously you don’t want to layer all the waistlines on top of one another that would probably be uncomfortable.)
i recently ordered some classical puppets bloomers with detachable garters (at least i think they're detachable!), and i was planning to wear them attached (they haven't arrived yet) but i've recently been thinking that people might take it the wrong way and think it's meant to be ero or something? i just think they look super cute!! :x
If the garters are visible it will definitely look ero, but… are they these bloomers? Because they’re short enough that there’s no reason they would be visible in Lolita anyway, so I don’t see you having any problems unless your skirt is just way too short.

can I wear lace or lycra shorts instead of a petticoat?
Shorts aren’t going to give you any sort of volume. The petticoat is there to give shape and fluff. Did you mean bloomers? Because shorts can work as a replacement for bloomers, but they aren’t going to be nearly as cute.
BLOOMERS ARE THE BEST! They are super cute, and definitely comfortable. One of my favorite parts of the fashion, actually!
I know right? I love bloomers so much.

Are bloomers necessary for lolita fashion? Because they look uncomfortable :/
Please remember to check the tags.
As for comfort, I actually think bloomers are very comfortable. They’re comfortable enough that I sometimes use them to sleep in actually.

Hello! Instead of bloomers, can I wear shorts underneath? Or is it considered un-'lolita'like?
As long as they give you the proper coverage that bloomers are meant to give you can wear shorts. They just aren’t as cute and matchy.

Can good bloomers be purchased from costume stores?
Not really. I can’t say I’ve ever seen any sort of bloomers sold at costume stores unless they were part of a full, cheaply made, overpriced costume.

this might sound kinda dumb but how long are bloomers? I saw some that were all the way to the knees but some that are around mid thigh.
Anywhere between those two is best, mid-thigh to a little above the knee.

Yesterday I had my first really rude/uncomfortable situation. I want to the super market and I was going about my business, When these little kids kept giggling and pointed I paid it no mind but the little boy started asking questions I tried my best to be polite. Then what I guess was his sister came over, She and him started to touch my skirt and the little girl lifted up my skirt showing my bloomers. I got so flustered and There mother was just standing there I didn't know how to handle it :/
How little? Because if they were like, preschool age, you just tell them “That’s not a nice thing to do” and they usually learn their lesson. If they’re older, that’s when you talk to her mother. “Excuse me, I’m sorry, but could you please tell your children that they shouldn’t go around lifting people’s skirts?” At a certain point they should really know better.
On the bright side, at least you were wearing bloomers. And let this be a lesson to all of you who ask why you have to wear them!
