Amelia Bloomer, often credited with starting the bloomer trend (and giving the garment its now-familiar name) was simply the editor of the women's publication "The Lily" and who published favorably on the garment, encouraging the adoption of rational dress. Elizabeth Smith Miller is thought to be the first woman (who otherwise normally conformed to fashionable Western European dress of the time) to adopt the bifurcated outer-garment: "In the spring of 1851, while spending many hours at work in the garden, I became so thoroughly disgusted with the long skirt, that the dissatisfaction--the growth of years--suddenly ripened into the decision that this shackle should no longer be endured. The resolution was at once put into practice. Turkish trousers to the ankle with a skirt reaching some four inches below the knee, were substituted for the heavy, untidy and exasperating old garment." Smith Miller, "Smith Family Papers", 1851.
