Queen Victoria's bloomers sold

As reported by the BBC, the Forbes family have sold a pair of Queen Victoria's bloomers in an auction at Edinburgh:
A large pair of silk bloomers that belonged to Queen Victoria have sold for more than three times their original estimate. The undergarment, auctioned alongside hundreds of other royal artefacts, sold for £9,735.

Two pairs of silk stockings worn by Britain's longest serving monarch also went under the hammer in Edinburgh - one pair selling for more than £5,000.
They appear to be rather smaller than the "supersize" undergarments (waistline 74-105 inches) currently marked in the United States.
