Woman’s shirt

Straight-cut 'dodiltna' shirt, sewn from three panels. Straight sleeve with a gusset and insert sewn along the weft, gathered at the bottom on a narrow hem. The body and inserts are gathered near the neckline using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is square ('kare') with a central front slit (28 cm long), finished with a narrow hem with two slit buttonholes at the edges. The shirt is decorated with floral-geometric embroidery in 'white on white.' The insert has a horizontal pattern stripe of four-petal flowers and small diamonds with a diagonal cross in the center. This pattern is framed by two thin lines of small diamonds and diagonal lines. The upper sleeve is embroidered with a wavy branch with attached stylized tulips and leaves, framed by the same thin lines as on the insert. The sleeve features scattered small bouquets of flowers arranged in two rows in a checkerboard pattern. The armhole is hemmed with a 'retyazok' stitch and decorated with a broken line with two leaves attached at the corners. The hem is hemmed with a 'retyazok' stitch and decorated with a pattern repeating the insert’s design and a narrow stripe of geometric patterns composed of straight and diagonal crosses. The hem’s connecting seams are decorated with a 'retyazok' stitch for a height of 9 cm.
