Jacquard Fabric – Poem Print Limited Edition | Atelier 27

Delicate, ceremonial, and quietly beautiful. The Poem jacquard (Poème) from Atelier Vingt-Sept is an ivory floral jacquard with the kind of understated elegance that turns heads in the best possible way. Woven — not printed — the floral pattern is built into the fabric itself, giving it depth, texture, and a luminosity that catches light differently depending on how you move.

Atelier 27's Poem jacquard has earned 100% five-star reviews from every maker who has worked with it. Customers describe it as "une merveille" (a wonder), note that it doesn't crease, doesn't fray excessively, and sews up into garments of exceptional quality. The Eleanor top by Cha'Coud is a particularly stunning featured make — but this jacquard shines in virtually any structured silhouette.

About Atelier Vingt-Sept

Atelier 27 (Atelier Vingt-Sept) is an independent French fabric brand known for limited-edition prints and exceptional quality. The Poem jacquard is especially notable: both created and fabricated entirely in France — a rarity that speaks to Atelier 27's commitment to French craftsmanship. It is one of their most coveted Spring collection pieces.

What Can You Make?

Poem is a structured fabric with no stretch, making it ideal for tailored garments that hold their shape: tops, skirts, shorts, blazers, dresses, trousers, and accessories. It is particularly stunning for occasion wear — weddings, celebrations, garden parties — but equally beautiful as an elevated everyday piece. Not transparent; no lining required for most projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I sew with this fabric?

Tops, skirts, shorts, blazers, dresses, trousers, and accessories — this structured, no-stretch jacquard is especially stunning for occasion wear like weddings and garden parties, but equally at home as an elevated everyday piece.

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

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?

This jacquard is a blend of 64% polyester, 28% cotton, and 8% viscose — the polyester majority keeps shrinkage minimal, though the cotton and viscose content mean a small amount is possible on first wash. We recommend washing before cutting for accurate sizing, as noted in our sewing tips.

Is it see-through?

No — Atelier 27 states this jacquard is not transparent. At 275 g/m² it's a substantial, structured fabric with excellent opacity, and no lining is required for most projects.

What needle and thread should I use?

A universal needle (80/12–90/14) with all-purpose polyester thread, per our sewing tips above; test on a scrap first.

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 are no import shipping, tariff, or customs processing fees.
