You might find it amusing that a unique pair of Queen Victoria's hand-sewn knee-length bloomers—also known as knickers—with a single button, a drawstring waist, and a royal crest embroidery are being sold in Somerset.

In addition, a pair of matching leather slippers with satin bows and cut steel buttons and Queen Victoria's chemise or nightdress, embroidered with a Royal Crest, is up for auction on Wednesday, April 19, at Lawrence of Crewkerne.

The makers' label on the slippers reads, "Gundry & Sons, Makers to the Queen, The Princess & The Royal Family, 17 New Bond St, London."

The current owners received the items from the Oakden/Bickerton family line. The current owners received the items from the Oakden/Bickerton family line.
