Product description
This lightweight premium cotton fabric (100% organic cotton) has an easy-iron finish, making it perfect for dress shirts, blouses, tunics, summer dresses, and casual wear.
Poplin is a cotton fabric with a soft drape. It is densely woven and holds its shape well in gathered skirts and puffed sleeves, so it can be used for patterns with complex structuring. Easy to sew with. If used in lined garments, we recommend selecting the finest lining fabric possible, such as habotai or voile.
Easy iron
Because this fabric is easy-iron, it’s perfect for use in shirts and blouses. It wrinkles like any other cotton, but is easy to press or steam. Due to its higher thread count and the quality cotton used, it won’t shrink much; nevertheless it’s a good idea to wash it before sewing.
Traditional product
By purchasing this fabric you are supporting European textile traditions. It is printed with the latest technology by a Czech textile printer with a century-long history. If you are looking for a quality print for garment making, not just patchwork, you’ll love this material.

Viennese pattern in Biedermeier style
Bundles of wildflowers in muted tones of beige grace this pretty cotton poplin. Floral motifs were typical for the Biedermeier period. They pushed out the grandiose patterns of the Empire period with their depictions of scenes from Antiquity, bringing fashion down to a more intimate level. Dainty florals in a neutral color palette like this one were wildly popular in the 19th century and remain perennial favorites, coming back into fashion over and over again.
Biedermeier was the dominant decorative style of the respectable middle class in early-to-mid 19th century Vienna and German-speaking central Europe. It derives from the Empire style.
Where you might use Biedermeier prints
- Biedermeier costuming, roughly 1815–1848
- Other 19th century styles, from Regency to Victorian
- Prairie style fashions
- Contemporary design, to introduce a sense of grace, delicacy, and harmony
- Any time you want to make a pretty blouse or dress
Care
