Amelias Blues Pinch and Pleat Amelias Blue by Betsy Chutchian for Moda Fabrics

Amelia's Blues is inspired by the life of Amelia Bloomer who lived from 1818-1894. She was a suffragist, a social activist, and the editor of the temperance newspaper, The Lily. Her interest in the reform of women's clothing led to her promoting the Rational Dress Movement during the Victorian Era. She especially advocated the wearing of a form of pants called pantaloons, as being sensible and practical under a short dress. Women accepted the idea of wearing pantaloons, mostly in the form of undergarments, and while Amelia did not invent the pantaloons, the nickname bloomers was adopted.
