I would agree with this interpretation of swooners. What other garment would
have as much power to make HH swoon as bloomers?
As for the idea that swooners were sweaters, I would have to disagree. If
all of the other clothes are summer in nature (he is picking her up from
summer camp) and therefore light and revealing, I find it less probable that
he is buying sweaters for her.

... chewing gum , a transparent raincoat , sunglasses , some more garments -
swooners , shorts , all kinds of summer frocks .
Swooners seem to me to be updated bloomers - - i.e. panties.
