I'm looking at the short puffy sleeved version with a collar. I plan to do the tucks or darts in the back, but only add them to the front later if desired. (post babyweight loss.) The pink is a very classic soft pink. I'm ready for something classic just now. However, I was about to cut and realized that the fabric is quite sheer. Now I'm having second thoughts. Is this pattern still great for a semi-sheer fabric? Should I line the blouse? Is it wierd to line a blouse? Or should I just wear a cami under it? I would be greatful for some opinions. ------ Melanie

I tried silk organza but it was too scratchy and stiff. I'm not fond of camis unless it's winter and I'm wearing them for warmth. I should say that I always make princess seam blouses so it's easy to keep the shape of the lining close to the shape of the blouse and there's not a lot of shifting. If I was making the "shirt-type" with just a bust dart the results might be different.
