Here's a cropped jacket, together with the linen dress I recently finished. Both were sewn, using Simplicity #1621. The jacket is made from a pale peach, handkerchief linen fabric; the dress fabric is a medium-weight, textured white linen. The pattern is truly one of the easiest I have ever worked with; all the pieces fit together like a dream. Difficulty might be found in the construction details, i.e., encasing the seams, self-made bias tape, precise sewing along the edges, hand-stitched hem. These details were time consuming and tedious, especially because of the nature of the fabric, but well worth the effort. The finished pieces are feminine and romantic, not exactly my style when all is said and done, but oh so fun to sew!
