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.

sewapropos writes: RoseV, Simplicity 3627, though not exact, has a similar style in a jacket. 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. Posted: 7:57 am on July 15th

Anyone know of an adult sized pattern like this? I would love a jacket with the same details! Posted: 2:13 pm on July 14th

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. Posted: 3:58 pm on July 9th
