Undergarments – little bloomers? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slips

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'undergarments' is the definition.
(slip is a kind of undergarment)

'aeur little bloomers?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'little' could be 'l' (abbreviation for little) and 'l' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sips' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for slips that I've seen before include "They try to catch you" , "errors" .)
