Poplin
Poplin, also called tabinet (or tabbinet), is a strong fabric in a plain weave of any fiber or blend, with crosswise ribs that typically gives a corded surface.
Poplin traditionally consisted of a silk warp with a weft of worsted yarn. In this case, as the weft is in the form of a stout cord the fabric has a ridged structure, like rep, which gave depth and softness to the lustre of the silky surface. The ribs run across the fabric from selvage to selvage.
Poplin is now made with wool, cotton, silk, rayon, polyester or a mixture of these. Being a plain under/over weave, if the weft and warp threads are of the same material and size, the effect is a plain woven surface with no ribbing. Shirts made from this material are easy to iron and do not wrinkle easily.
Poplins are used for dress purposes, and for rich upholstery work which are formed by using coarse filling yarns in a plain weave.
The term poplin originates from papelino, a fabric made at Avignon, France, in the 15th century, named for the papal (pope's) residence there, and from the French papelaine a fabric, normally made with silk, of the same period. Common usage of poplin until about the 20th century was to make silk, cotton or heavy weight wool dresses, suitable for winter wear. Poplin was also a popular upholstery fabric.

Hindsight (lonely Girl)
by: PebalunaWell I have been a lonely girl for so long I can’t see
why anyone would want a girl as lonely as me
See, I’ve been staying out and drinking booze
until memory’s obsolete
and I can’t even bare witness to
my own menagerie
until I wake up cold and sick
praying that I could undo what I did
even if I don’t know what that was at all
but please don’t judge me for in due time
I won’t bury my heart in hindsight
and may be he could love a lonely girl
Then I won’t wake up cold and sick
Instead I’ll remember the touch of his lips
and have him think I’ve really got it together
Because when I do I’m quite the joy
and he’d be such the lucky boy
to have found a girl as lonely as me
