Fabric Suggestions?

A while ago I got the end of a bolt of yummy patterned wool from Mill Ends. It is black with lozenges that are 1 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" long. Sadly I only have about 2 1/2 yards of it. So what might ot be appropriate for? Ideas, thoughts and suggestions are welcome!

With that pattern, I vote for neck line, cuffs, and hem of a sexy over tunic(s), with the pattern enhanced through the addition of embroidery, beads, jewels, or something...

or it might just plain make a tunic in and of itself, but it screams establishment, rather than background, to me.

And if you can't decide, I'd be more than happy to take it from you and show you what I mean on a tunic to fit me. ;-)

Hehe, mine all mine! :-) Yeah, I thought about using it for really spiff trim... It would last forever that way. But I think I want to make a whole garment. Mmmm. Decisions.
