I was thinking of doing the skirt in assuit panels over a red underskirt.. what material would be best to pair with the assuit? Will it pick something like silk? Would I be better off with a velvet or something like cotton?

If you make detachable sleeves for the top, you can make several sleeve styles and extend the usefulness of the bra. There are a number of ways to attach these interchangeable sleeves ranging from narrow velcro (which I don't much like) to hooks or ribbon ties.

I always prefer my underskirts to be made of something washable if at all possible.
