Description
Straight-cut shirt, 'to the hem.' The body of the shirt is sewn from six panels of hemp canvas, and the sleeves from linen canvas. The sleeve is straight, one-piece, with a gusset, gathered at the bottom into fine folds and finished with a narrow hem. The upper sleeve and body are densely pleated in two rows near the neckline using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is round with a 37 cm slit in the center front, bound with a narrow binding with two buttonhole loops at the edges. The slit is fixed at the bottom with a fastener. The shirt is decorated with stylized plant-geometric (shoulder area, sleeve) and plant and zoomorphic (hem) patterns, embroidered in 'white on white' and geometric patterns, embroidered with black zappolotch (hem). On the shoulder area of the sleeve, a horizontal strip of ornament with stylized flowers is embroidered, framed above and below with straight strips with 'pyramids' of three windows and 'whiskers' ('lyshtva,' 'cutting'). The sleeve surface is filled with a vertical composition on the 'branch' motif ('cutting,' 'lyshtva,' 'kuryachiy brid'). The hem is sewn with a 'single rod' and decorated with a 7.5 cm wide strip of openwork with an overlay depicting two birds facing each other and flowers (openwork). The connecting seams of the body are decorated at the hem with a black zigzag line ('cherv'yachok'). Legend: Woven, sewn, and embroidered by Hanna Ivanivna Rudenko, who lived at the address: Kharkiv Region, Chuhuiv District, village of Bazaliyivka.
