Cotton poplin with an elegant gold accent

This poplin is a pleasure to work with. The plain weave gives it a smooth, stable surface, which makes cutting and sewing easier. It is a great dressmaking fabric for both beginners and experienced makers. The gold foil print gives the fabric its exclusive look, but it should be washed and ironed gently to help preserve the sheen. As a 100% cotton fabric, it is comfortable against the skin and well suited to garments worn close to the body.

The fabric has a softness rating of 3/5, so it drapes with moderate ease. It is neither stiff nor overly fluid, giving you enough structure for details such as pleats, collars and ruffles, while still falling neatly in skirts and dresses. Think blouses, occasion dresses, smart skirts, or even quilt projects and patchwork. There are plenty of ways to use this versatile fabric by the metre.
