ТК-224

Shirt 'to the hem.' The bodice is from fine homemade canvas, the hem from coarse canvas, sewn from six parts. Straight silhouette. The sleeve is one-piece, straight, wide (with an additional panel one-third the width of the canvas), gathered at the bottom into small folds, on a narrow cuff decorated with a triple overcast stitch. The sleeve on the back side is attached to the bodice with a 'worm' stitch made with red and blue woolen thread. The same stitch connects the sleeve panels at the back. The front of the sleeve is sewn with a double overcast stitch. From the cuff, a short (8 cm) decorative 'worm' stitch extends. The bodice and sleeves are gathered near the neckline into dense gathers using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is oval, with a central slit on the front, finished with a narrow cuff sewn with a double overcast stitch. The neckline gathers and cuff (front) are decorated with a 'forward needle' stitch in red and blue threads. At the ends of the cuff, there are two slit loops for a ribbon. The sleeves and hem are embroidered in 'white on white' with bleached homemade threads using the techniques of cutting and openwork. Geometric and geometric-floral pattern. On the shoulder, a horizontal stripe of a pattern (3 cm wide) is composed of diamonds and slanted crosses. The pattern is framed above and below with openwork (1 cm wide). Further down the sleeve, two rows of a scattering of half-diamonds and geometric eight-petaled flowers. The hem is hemmed with 'prutyk' and decorated with a zigzag line (surface stitching technique) and parallel to it, openwork (1 cm wide). The connecting seams on the hem (4.5 cm high) are hemstitched with a 'worm' stitch in blue woolen thread. Legend: According to the record in the inventory book TK-1, the shirt was received from the collection of the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine named after H.S. Skovoroda.
