Between the heat waves and soundtracked by the ice cream truck jingle, our Mood Exclusive Summer's Surmise Cotton Poplin assumes (correctly) that its portryal of a sunny flower field evokes in you happy thoughts of summer. Under the warmth of a butter-yellow sky, flowers and leaves grow with white petals that resemble embroidery. Thanks to the 100% cotton content, the hand is dry and the drape is crisp, emitting a cool feeling against your skin. As it is semi-translucent, a lining may be desired.

From dressing the March sisters in Little Women to filling your suitcase with vacation-ready sets, cotton poplin’s presence is as common today as it was decades ago—and thanks to its versatility and breathable nature, we don’t anticipate it going anywhere. Perfect for the beginner and the expert, poplin promotes clean silhouettes and elevated basics with chic blouses, tiered sundresses, and button-ups. Our seasoned sewists suggest pre-washing the fabric, securing it with pins and weights to prevent slipping, and using your sharpest scissors!

Please Note: The dye lot of this fabric has changed as of September 2025. If you had previously ordered this material, please order a swatch to ensure the new dye lot meets your color requirements.
