Cotton Poplin Dresses

Poplin Dress: Crisp Structure with Comfortable Wear

Our poplin dresses showcase this distinctive fabric's natural structure and breathable properties. With a smooth finish and comfortable weight, these pieces maintain their polished appearance throughout the day.

A poplin dress is made from poplin fabric—a crisp, woven cotton known for its durability and smooth finish. Nation’s poplin is 100% pima cotton, stonewashed for softness with a sueded feel. It’s midweight, holds its shape beautifully, and has no stretch. Perfect for warm weather, but polished enough to wear anywhere.

A poplin midi dress hits around the knee or mid-calf and is made from structured cotton poplin. Nation’s version is crafted from woven pima cotton with a soft yet crisp feel, thanks to a gentle stonewash. It’s flattering, breathable, and holds its shape—ideal for everyday ease or more dressed-up moments.

Yes—especially Nation’s version. Our poplin is made from 100% pima cotton, so it’s naturally breathable and lightweight without being sheer. It feels crisp but not stiff, making it a comfortable option for sunny days when you still want a little structure.

No—Nation’s cotton poplin is a woven fabric with no added stretch. That’s part of what gives it structure and polish. We design our silhouettes intentionally, so even without stretch, the fit feels tailored but comfortable, never restrictive.
