I love this garment for my little one because everything is made out of the linen--including the sleeve & neck bindings, the button loops, and the buttons.  With so much detail in the design from the gathering to the side row of buttons, I like the monochromatic scheme.  A village frock for my little village girl.

Pleating the ends of the sleeves as well would give it even more of a similar feel to this dress, and you could do covered buttons as well as increase the number of buttons. Simplicity 2760 would also be cute.

Anyone know of an adult sized pattern like this? I would love a jacket with the same details!

I love the color of the fabric. You could go anywhere with is classic design and has held the test of time; dates to circa. 1564 to 1623 or so. Thank you bring it back into style.
