It's very sheer, so I'll have to either wear a camisole under or maybe underline just the front and back of the tunic. I don't want the tunic to have much body however, so will have to play with how the fabric will look and feel underlined. I was thinking of using the muslin cotton for the underlining, but the voile is so thin, it may be over powered by the cotton . . .
I also want to do something about the collar; either embroidering with similar colors a lot of flowers, or maybe a completely contrasting fabric.
I'll have to hit the fabric stores and trawl around. In the meantime I'll have to serge the fabric and wash it. I'll be able to cut out all the various pieces while I search for the underlining and collar pieces and then I'll be able to make a sample of the fabric against the muslin and maybe others to see how it works.
