Woman’s shirt

Shirt with a straight silhouette, 'body' (to the waist). Sewn from three panels. The sleeve is straight with an insert sewn along the warp, gathered at the bottom into small pleats using the 'sewing to the collar' technique and finished with a wide band with double 'stem stitch,' decorated at the top with 'puff stitches' (11 cm long). The sleeve and insert on the back side are sewn with a double 'stem stitch.' The body and inserts are gathered at the neckline into small pleats using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is square with a 25 cm slit in the center front, finished with a narrow band with triple 'stem stitch,' fastened with a loop buttonhole (right) and a white plastic button (left) at the edges of the band. The shirt is decorated with a black and red floral ornament. At the edge of the insert is a wavy line formed by periwinkle stems with flowers, leaves, and tendrils, framed on both sides by stripes of stylized leaves. The sleeve features a scattered pattern of ornamental motifs of the same character: periwinkle branches with leaves and tendrils. Legend: The shirt was made for a bride's dowry.
