Sewing chiffon

Hi
Are there any dress makers out there that can advise me please?
I've bought some gorgeous chiffon fabric that I am going to make into a dress.
I am a bit of a novice with the sewing machine, I've been sewing since April last year and an comfortable making bags & pouches and I made my Christmas dress.
I think I will be able to use the same pattern, the chiffon is a pale peach colour with a pretty pattern to it. I will need something to wear under it - not very MSE I bought it because I liked the look and the feel of it!
Here's the question: should I make it in one with some cotton type fabric or should I make it with just the chiffon and make myself a petticoat to wear with it?
Or not make the dress make a kimono style top to wear with other items?
Any offers of advice, I'd be most grateful
