Poplin has been made for many centuries and the original versions were woven with silk and wool. Our modern adaptation is made of versatile polyester which makes it a staple fabric for any wardrobe basic. Just enough body to fashion into a suit, it also has enough drape to use for separates like skirts, tops, shorts, and pants. And don't forget that it can also be used for home decor!! **Please note that the color Dark Ivory is a very light ivory, just a shade lighter than the color Ivory - Polyester Poplin.
