I especially love these Barbizon Puffetts, as I love the quality of the quilting. I’ve found ads for the puffet from 1941 through 1955 in a range of designs and love finding them out in the wild.

This one dates to 1947 or 48 as indicated by the attached ads.

They work beautifully as loungewear or as outerwear.

Fabricated in a peachy “petal pink” (as per the ads) rayon satin with a diamond pattern quilting

Color is a close match to Pantone’s Soft Pink

Fully lined

Collarless style

Frog fasteners

Soft shirring along the front and back yoke

3/4 length sleeves

Handkerchief pocket inside
