Description
Shirt with a straight silhouette, 'body' (to the waist). Sewn from two panels. The sleeve is straight with a gusset and an insert, sewn along the base, finished at the bottom with a 5.5 cm wide cuff with a buttonhole and a small white button. The cuff is stitched at the top and bottom with a double 'stem stitch,' and at the buttonhole and button level with a single 'stem stitch.' The sleeve is stitched at the top with single and double 'stem stitch,' decorated with 'puff stitches' (7.5 cm long), and sewn to the insert with a 'horodky' openwork seam. The insert is folded to the front side at the bottom and stitched with a single 'stem stitch.' The body and inserts are gathered at the neckline into small pleats using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is oval with a 25 cm slit in the center front, finished with a narrow band stitched with triple 'stem stitch,' with a small mother-of-pearl button on the left and a loop buttonhole on the right. The shirt is decorated with black and red floral and geometric ornaments. The edge of the insert has a thin red stripe of cross-stitch chain (0.2 cm wide), framed on both sides by parallel stripes of ornament (0.3 and 0.5 cm wide) in the form of connected diamonds. The sleeve features a scattered pattern of roses with branches, leaves, and buds. The cuff has two embroidery stripes: one of stylized flowers (1 cm wide) and another of connected diamonds (0.5 cm wide).
