Description
Women's 'do pidtochky' shirt. Straight silhouette, sewn from six panels. Straight sleeve with a gusset and insert sewn along the warp, gathered at the bottom and finished with a narrow hem, decorated at the top with 'pukhlyky.' The body and inserts are gathered near the neckline into fine pleats using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is oval with a long central front slit, finished with a narrow hem with two slit buttonholes at the edges. The shirt is decorated with geometric embroidery in 'white on white.' The insert has a horizontal stripe of diamond-shaped patterns, framed by straight lines with attached geometric leaves. The hem features two rows of openwork stitching: 1) a narrow one with a 'circle' pattern, 2) a wider one with a broken-line pattern.
Legend: According to the inventory book TK-1, the shirt came from the collection of the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine named after H.S. Skovoroda.
