Description
Straight-cut shirt, 'to the hem.' The body of the shirt is sewn from six panels. The sleeve is straight with a gusset and an inset, sewn along the weft, gathered at the bottom into small folds and finished with a narrow hem. The body and inset are gathered near the neckline using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is 'square' with a 26.5 cm slit in the center front, finished with a narrow binding with two buttonhole loops at the edges. The shirt is decorated with geometric patterns, embroidered in 'white on white' (inset, upper sleeve edge, hem). A horizontal strip of triangles ('lyshtva') is laid along the edge of the inset. Parallel to it, an ornamental strip of comb-like diamonds with an inscribed stylized four-petal flower, connected by a vertical composition of a diamond and triangles, is embroidered on the upper sleeve edge. The embroidery is framed above and below with straight lines featuring 'pyramids' with three windows ('lyshtva,' 'cutting,' reverse side of 'retyaz'). The hem is sewn with a 'single rod' and decorated with a horizontal strip of openwork with diamond-shaped holes arranged in a checkerboard pattern ('openwork with overlay'). Legend: According to the entry in inventory book TK-1, the shirt belonged to the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine named after H.S. Skovoroda.
