Vintage Oshkosh floral bubble pants
- Thread starter Shel1970
- Start date
When you say "bubble" are you referring to the silhouette/style? They look like knickers to me. Knickers aka knickerbocker - longer ones were called "plus fours" - were mostly worn by men in the early 1900s through late 1920s. Women sometimes wore them for sporting events. They were very popular in the early 1980s, probably because of Diana Spencer.
However, if you are in the UK, the word "knickers" = underwear. It makes search harder.

Two pairs of early 80s lady's knickers from my sold archives
The corduroy pair were Rose Hips by Esprit. The burgundy velveteen ones were Gunne Sax.

Are these toddler-sized?
I do believe they are what was called bubble pants (for kids) back in the day... 1980s or 90s or so. That's just the type of thing I would have dressed my daughters in. They were common back then.
We need good clear photos of ALL labels and tags.
As always, eBay searches and Google Lens can be very helpful.

Ah. if they are children's size, that would be different.
