18th Century Farmers’ Smocks

This overgarment is more frequently referred to as a “farmer’s frock,” or occasionally a “smock frock.”

(While I haven’t found a pattern for the 18th century styles as found in the illustrations below, you may be able to modify the Folkwear French Cheesemaker’s Smock, Black Forest Smock, or English Smock into something suitable.)
