Hi @annieeg

The fabric suggestions are:-
viscose, silk, tencel, soft fine cottons such as lawn

So yes I would think so. You might want to interface both sides of the collar for stability and try not to overhandle to avoid too much fraying.
I found the collar really fiddly to do and did hand tacking before the stitching (as pins were too long), slipstitch on the inside and then topstitch on the outside so it'll hold up through the wash and me wearing it (I'm quite hard on clothes).

@annieeg my pattern arrived today and the suggested fabrics are viscose, silk, tencel, soft fine cottons such as lawn. I purchased the pattern purely for the blouse. I have some nice viscose that has been waiting patiently for a project.

That looks like a really useful top @SewRuthieSews , and I love the sleeves.  I've not made a Prima pattern for years, I may have to think again.

Sorry, @SewRuthieSews I've just realised that you'd already posted the info about suitable fabrics yesterday :facepalm:
