Poplin is not even a little like flannel. The poplin fabric is incredibly tight woven, shiny and smooth, making it a popular fabric for jackets, pajamas, and shirts.
Flannel fabric is woven loosely and does not have a shiny or smooth finish. There must be a lot of softness in it. You can brush both sides or one side to create a napped surface.
Poplin is smooth, crisp, and lightweight, ideal for warm weather and formal wear.
Flannel is soft, warm, and brushed, making it suitable for cold weather and casual wear.
Both fabrics serve different purposes and are chosen based on the desired look, feel, and function of the garment.
1) Poplin is normally made from cotton or cotton blend while flannel is usually made from cotton, wool, or a blend.
2) Poplin features crosswise ribs and has a plain weave construction whereas flannel is typically twill or plain weave.
3) Poplin has a smooth, crisp, and slightly lustrous texture. Flannel has soft, fuzzy and warm texture.
4) Poplin is lightweight with high breathability while flannel is medium to heavy with moderate breathability.
5) Poplin is best for summer dresses whereas flannel is best for winter dresses.
