Woman’s shirt

Straight-cut shirt, 'to the hem.' The body of the shirt is sewn from six panels (body from linen canvas, hem from hemp canvas). The sleeve is straight, one-piece, with a gusset, decorated at the bottom with 'pukhlyky' and finished with a hem. The body and upper sleeve are densely pleated near the neckline using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is oval, with a 28.5 cm slit in the center front, bound with a narrow binding with two buttonhole loops at the edges for a tie; the tie is crocheted with pink garus yarn. The shirt is decorated with plant-geometric patterns, embroidered in 'white on white' with 'lyshtva,' 'cutting,' and 'vykolyuvannya' techniques (sleeve) and geometric patterns, executed with white thread using 'cutting,' 'verkhoplut,' and 'kuryachiy brid' techniques (shoulder area, hem) and pink, green, and blue 'muline' threads with 'cherv'yachok' (hem). The sleeve at the shoulder area is decorated with a horizontal strip of ornament composed of triangle and 'key' motifs — an S-shaped sign arranged horizontally. The sleeve surface is filled with a vertical ornament on the 'grape branch' motif — a broken line with stylized clusters and leaves. The hem is folded, decorated with a 2.5 cm wide horizontal strip of openwork with a geometric pattern composed of holes. The connecting seams of the panels are decorated at the hem with zigzag lines: two variants in pink and green and one variant in pink and blue. Legend: Woven, sewn, and embroidered by Hanna Ivanivna Rudenko, who lived at the address: Kharkiv Region, Chuhuiv District, village of Bazaliyivka.
