The Oversized (Girls 12-14) "Bloomies" Underwear Found On JonBenet

(Sorry - couldn't resist that thread title!).

As promised, I purchased a packet of size 12/14 Bloomies from Bloomingdales in NY and here are some photos of them.

The first is for KoldKase. I think it was you who once asked about the packet they came in and how it was sealed.

This is the packet:-

This is the seal. There is a little plastic "string" which goes through the loop at the end, the tags and the hole in the zipper. You need to break this to open it. In the photo, the seal is intact:-

And this is the size 12/14 and size 4/6 side by side. My daughter is almost exactly the same weight and height as Jonbenet was when she died (and she is almost exactly the same age too - 6 years and 6 months). I won't be getting her to model the larger knickers as I don't think it would be right to do so. The dimensions of the knickers are as follows:-

Size 12/14 - measure 12 inches from waistband to bottom of crotch and waistband is 22 inches unstretched.

Size 4/6 - measure 8.5 inches from waistband to crotch and waistband is just under 17 inches unstretched.

The size 4/6 fit my daughter just now.

My observation without her trying them on is that they would be very "gapey" at the crotch and would hang down at the crotch. The legs look very wide.

Well done, Jay. Congratulations. It is so good to see them displayed like this. Thank you for all the time that has gone into this effort.
I often thought the bigger ones were used to go over the pullups, but why would you need anything over them, if Jammies or long johns were going over them?

Was just thinking, wouldn't it have been great if you had the new panties tested for the DNA from the makers?

I was wondering where you were, Jay. So you were in New York? Busy place, isn't it?

Jayelles,
Thanks for the comparison. The pic really helps put the sizes in prospective.

Copied from WS:-

Well I just did a little experiment. I offered the larger size knickers to my daughter and she exclaimed "Mummy! These are too big! More like YOUR size". So there is no way she would mistake them for her own. Then I got her to try them on and they are simply huge on her. They wouldn't fall down round her ankles necessarily - not past her hip bones anyway, but they would certainly slip down as far as her hipbones - at which point the crotch is level with her knees. They are also incredibly baggy. Every heard the expression "droopy drawers"? They bag out at the back and form a little tunnel from one side to the next.

They would be extremely uncomfortable to wear and I quite frankly cannot imagine any child being happy to do so.

Another poster mentioned the possibility of them being worn over pullups and they would certainly accomodate rather large pullups with PLENTY of room to spare.
