Difference between bloomers and pumpkin_pants?

I've been going through the pumpkin tag lately and noticed that there were these puffy type of shorts like in post #1027809, post #1028899 and post #1042223 tagged as pumpkin pants, which closely resemble bloomers. Then I see posts like post #271901 and post #341352 where the shorts are modeled after a jack-o'lantern, so I was wondering if there should be a difference between bloomers, the puffy style of shorts, and the shorts that look like actual pumpkins.

I think the pumpkin_pants tag ought to be reserved for actual pumpkins, as in post #244052.

I somehow doubt that is going to come up very often.

Pumpkin pants are very much like bloomers, but they have a form and shape much more like pumpkins. The tags jack-o-lantern and halloween should cover the images that mimic the actual vegetable.

They are not as rare as you think. See post #1284478, post #1283934 and posts under melissa_seraphy.
There are also images like post #1284275 and post #1076202 or like post #1286728 and post #1286868.

IMO, pumpkin_pants tag should be used either for real pumpkins, or for them and for pants that look exactly like pumpkins.

So if my understanding is correct...

• Regular shorts like post #1027809 would be considered something like puffy shorts or similar. I wouldn't call them bloomers because they're not worn under dresses like underwear, but are typical outer wear like regular shorts are.

• Pumpkin-themed shorts/panties and actual pumpkins used as shorts/panties like post #1190423 and post #547345 would be pumpkin pants and pumpkin panties, unless both of them are merged into pumpkin pants. From my search through the pumpkin tag, the pumpkin panties were very rare, so I vote with merging.

• Puffy shorts-like underwear remain as bloomers
