I am making a shirt that is sheer lycra. I want to interface the body
with a fusible without losing the stretch features. The shirt will be
very fitted...no blousing at all. Additionally, the color I need is
red. Is there a fusible that would work? If I cannot find something
with stretch, if I cut the interfacing on the bias would that work?

Sounds like interlining rather than interfacing would be the way to go here.

Would this be fusible? Or just a separate layer.

Dear Cheryl,

Interfacing comes in black, white and natural. If the garment is to
be sheer, you could use red organza or netting for the interfacing, or
even a piece of red lace...

Well, you've gotten some excellent suggestions but it might be a lot
easier to find a sleek red lycra tank-style body suit to wear under the
sheer shirt.
