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.They appear to be rather smaller than the "supersize" undergarments (waistline 74-105 inches) currently marked in the United States.
