Description
Straight-cut shirt, 'to the hem.' The body of the shirt is sewn from six panels. The sleeve is straight with a gusset and an inset, sewn along the warp, decorated at the top with 8 cm 'pukhlyky,' gathered at the bottom with small folds and finished with a narrow binding. The body and inset are gathered near the neckline using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is round with a 29 cm slit in the center front, finished with a narrow hem with two buttonhole loops at the edges. The shirt is decorated with stylized plant patterns, executed with black and red threads (inset, sleeve). The inset is decorated along the lower edge with a horizontal garland of three-petal flowers with leaves, framed below with two zigzag strips ('cross diagonal,' 'retyaz'?). On the sleeve, on the back side, a vertical 'stem' with berry sprouts is embroidered, interrupted by a small branch with two flowers and tendrils. Similar branches are scattered across the upper part of the sleeve ('cross diagonal,' 'retyaz'?). The hem is folded, without decoration. Legend: Found during an ethnographic expedition in the village of Tsybivka, Krasnokutsky District, Kharkiv Region.
