Polyester Elastane Mousseline Fabric – Appolline in Glacier Blue Limited Edition | Atelier 27

Appolline Glacier is a Limited Edition semi-sheer mousseline made from 96% polyester and 4% elastane, by independent designer Atelier 27. Featuring the Appolline floral print in glacier blue, white, green, and ochre on an airy lightweight base, it has fluid drape and gentle movement that make it ideal for floaty blouses, occasion dresses, overlays, scarves, and layering pieces. Created and printed in France, this print is produced in a single small run and will not be reprinted once sold out.

The hand is lightweight with an airy mousseline construction. It drapes and flows easily, offering gentle movement and a floaty silhouette. As a semi-sheer fabric, it is best lined when used for dresses and skirts, or layered over a slip or camisole for blouses and tops.
