This might be a double definition.

'underwear' is the first definition.
(type of women's underwear)

'stocks say?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bloomers that I've seen before include "made by clothing manufacturers" , "Flora" , "Undergarments popularised by Amelia" , "Embarrassing mistakes" , "of bakers, gardeners and > underwear suppliers?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
