Well, they're for under skirts/dresses because when it's hot, I don't like the feeling of sticky thighs :D. If I can eventually figure out how to insert a gusset in said bloomers, though, then I might consider making them as underwear/knickers. I'm going to attempt this pattern first: https://www.etsy.com/listing/739590388/sewing-pattern-for-womens-bloomers
I'll definitely post a pic of the outfit when it's done - no clue what shoes it'll need, but I'll figure that out later.
I've lucked out lately. Found a nice pair of linen pants in unbleached color and a blue linen sleeveless dress, both at the same thrift store. Also, my dark blue linen skirt that made me decide I ought to make a bias-cut one in brown came from the same store. Gee, I'd not given my local Goodwill enough credit, but I DO find decent stuff there!
I think the difference is that I'm in the US. I'm guessing by your language-use and the fact that your outfit the other day wasn't exactly summer attire, that you're in Australia or New Zealand (?), and that might explain the sorrier state of your shops given the degree of lockdown you've been under.
