Description
Body (to the waist). Straight silhouette, sewn from one panel cut across the fabric. Long sleeve with an insert and gusset, sewn along the weft, gathered at the bottom, and finished with a hem. The insert on the back side is sewn with a double 'vystih' stitch, and the sleeve is attached to the insert with an openwork seam and 'vystih,' decorated with five rows of 'pukhlyky.' The body and inserts are gathered near the neckline using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is square ('kare') with a central slit (26.5 cm long), finished with a hem decorated with three rows of 'vystih' stitches and two loop buttonholes for a ribbon. The sleeves and inserts are embroidered with red and black woolen threads in a floral-geometric pattern using the 'cross-stitch' technique. The insert has a horizontal pattern stripe (7 cm wide) with a broken line, with two stylized tulips and a multi-petal flower in a stylized vase attached rhythmically above and below. This pattern is framed above and below by thin borders of small stylized flowers. The sleeve features scattered geometric multi-petal flowers placed in a stylized vase.
Legend: The shirt was discovered during an ethnographic expedition by the Kharkiv Historical Museum.
