Cotton Poplin Fabric – Antoinette Print Glacier Limited Edition | Atelier 27

Designed by independent studio Atelier 27, this cotton poplin fabric features a delicate floral stripe print with a softly nostalgic feel, reminiscent of archival patterns. Set against a glacier blue background with pink, green, and ochre accents, the design balances charm and subtle structure for everyday garment sewing.

Carefully produced with attention to weave and finish, this lightweight 100% cotton poplin has a smooth surface and crisp yet breathable hand. Its light structure makes it easy to sew and comfortable to wear, particularly for garments with clean lines and soft volume.

This is a Limited Edition design — one small run, never reprinted once sold out.

Sold by the half yard.

Sewing Tips

Pre-wash before sewing to allow for any shrinkage. Use a fine universal needle (size 70/10) and handle the fabric gently while cutting to maintain accuracy. Test stitches on a scrap before sewing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I sew with this fabric?

Blouses, shirts, pyjamas, and lightweight dresses — the crisp poplin hand holds details like collars and plackets beautifully.

How much fabric do I need for a dress or blouse?

Fabric is sold by the half yard, cut in one continuous piece. A fitted top typically takes 2–3 half-yard units, a blouse or shirt 3–4, and a midi dress 5–6 — order 4 units for 2 continuous yards.

Will it shrink?

Slightly — like all cotton, expect minor shrinkage (around 2–3%) on the first wash. Pre-wash before cutting.

Is it see-through?

No — despite its light 90 g/m² weight it is rated opaque, so unlined blouses and dresses are fine.

What needle and thread should I use?

A fine universal or microtex needle (70/10) with all-purpose polyester thread and a short 2–2.2 mm stitch length.

Is it really limited edition?

Yes — Atelier 27 prints each design in a single small run in France and never reprints it. When our bolt sells out, this print is gone for good. We stock it here in the US, so there is no import shipping or customs from France.
