polka dot puffs
polka dot puffs?
´Bomber´ on fabrics are spotted patterns, often polka dots.
I always think ´bomber´ sound drastic as a pattern for baby clothes! - It was one of the earliest expressions I learnt from my mother in law, who ran a weaving shop and knew a lot about fabrics.

I think this means a velour fabric with a spotted pattern, which has been processed to make the dots stand out as little puffs, as in powder-puffs.
(Velour is knitted, velvet is woven.)
At least that is how I picture it.
