Plain Red Viscose Poplin Fabric

Meet this beautiful red viscose fabric by the metre: a versatile poplin with the smooth feel of viscose and the steadier handle of a poplin weave. Made from 100% viscose, this dressmaking fabric has a weight of 160 g/m² and a matt, plain finish in a rich red shade. The flat weave gives it a stable quality that is pleasant to sew, making it a reliable choice whether you're just starting out or already experienced at the machine.

A lovely red viscose poplin for your sewing projects

This cotton-like alternative in viscose is a pleasure to work with and to wear. It is known for its breathable comfort and moisture-absorbing qualities, so it feels lovely against the skin. With a controlled drape, it has more body than very fine viscose, while still staying softer and more fluid than cotton. That balance makes it ideal for garments that need shape without feeling stiff.

You could use it for elegant shirt dresses, smart wide-leg trousers, classic blouses or flowing skirts. The plain red colour makes this cotton fabric alternative easy to combine, giving you a strong base for a wardrobe you can mix and match. If you like sewing clothes that feel comfortable and look polished, this viscose fabric is a practical and stylish option.
