The finished length is 27 inches, giving it almost a jacket feel. It zips up the front with a separating zipper that stops about 6 inches from the bottom. It's super warm and comfortable with lots of give. I added a bit of width to the cuff from the baby version; cuffs measure 5 inches; this also allows it to be folded up for someone with a shorter arm length. The button, which looks like a pin when the jacket is worn open, is from my Grandmother's button box and has lots of color in it; it is 2 inches across. I'm working on getting the pattern written up and will post it soon.
