Perfectly playful and youthful in design, here is a combed cotton poplin ideal for those of a younger age. Of a lighter weight, this 50s combed cotton poplin is suitable for all kinds of sportswear including dresses, shirts and blouses as well as draperies. For those who aren't familiar with the term 50s, it refers to the thread count of this particular fabric resulting in a slightly crisper drape and a soft hand. This woven cotton poplin seems opaque when laid against the skin, but proves to be rather translucent when laid against brighter colors.
