Are those bloomers as underwear? How long are they? Do you wear knickers with them? The outfit sounds very '70s hippie-au-naturale inspired and will look fantastic. Do you think you could post a picture when it's done?
Linen is the schizz... it is supposed to be the clothing fibre par excellence. Seldom does one come across practical basic secondhand items in linen though.
Yes, I think you are right about peak thrift store. With most of them in this country run by charities and paying commercial rent for their shop spaces as well as being staffed by volunteers who are retired, they have suffered particularly acutely in the rolling lockdowns of the past year and a half. I doubt they will recover.
