Description

Straight-silhouette 'dodillna' shirt. The bodice is sewn from two panels. The sleeve has a gusset and shoulder inset sewn along the weft, gathered at the bottom into small pleats and finished with a narrow binding with a loop and button fastening; decorated at the top with 4 cm 'puffy' gathers. The bodice and shoulder inset are gathered near the neckline using the 'sewing to collar' technique. The round neckline has a 20 cm slit at the center front, finished with a narrow edge. The shirt is decorated with stylized floral ornaments embroidered with black and red zari thread (shoulder inset, sleeve, sleeve binding), light lilac zari thread, and white threads (hem), and geometric black-and-red ornaments (neckline binding). The shoulder inset and sleeve are decorated with oak branches with acorns and leaves ('tambour'). The sleeve binding has a wavy branch with leaflets, framed above and below by straight strips ('cross-stitch,' 'backstitch'). The neckline binding is decorated with small serrations along the upper edge and stitched with a red straight strip, below which is a zigzag line ('serration,' 'backstitch,' 'verkhoplut'). The hem is finished with a 'single prutik' and adorned with two openwork bands: a narrow and a wide one, with six-petal flowers and curled leaflets.
