Description

Shirt with a straight silhouette, 'body' (to the waist). Sewn from two panels. The sleeve is straight with a gusset and an insert, sewn along the warp, decorated at the bottom with 'puff stitches' gathered on a thread 1.5 cm from the edge to form a cuff. 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 27.5 cm slit in the center front, finished with a narrow band with triple 'stem stitch' and two loop buttonholes on both sides. The slit in the center front is hemmed on the front side with a single 'stem stitch.' The shirt is decorated with a black and red floral ornament. The neckline band has a red cross-stitch chain, and the bottom of the sleeve has a black and red chain (1x1). The insert is decorated with an ornament embroidered along the seam line to the sleeve and back, consisting of three stripes: a garland of roses (1.3 cm wide), above which is a stripe of stylized flowers (0.5 cm wide), and above that, seven separately embroidered roses with branches and leaves. The upper part of the sleeve is decorated with a horizontally placed ornament: roses with branches, leaves, and buds, framed above and below by stripes of stylized flowers with branches and leaves. The sleeve has a checkered pattern of six-petaled flowers with branches and leaves.
