Woman’s shirt

Straight-cut shirt, 'stanok.' The body of the shirt is sewn from one panel, cut crosswise. The sleeve is straight, one-piece, with a gusset, gathered at the bottom into fine folds using the 'sewing to the collar' technique, finished with a 3.5 cm wide cuff with two buttons, overcast with white threads. The body and upper sleeve are densely gathered near the neckline using the 'sewing to the collar' technique. The neckline is round, with a 23 cm slit in the center front, bound with a narrow binding with two buttonhole loops at the edges for a tie. The slit is fixed at the bottom with a fastener. The shirt is decorated with geometric and plant-geometric patterns, embroidered in 'white on white.' The shoulder area of the sleeve is decorated with a horizontal strip of diamond ornament, featuring a diamond with an inscribed four-petal flower and a half-diamond. The ornament is framed on all four sides with narrow straight strips with attached four-petal half-flowers and half-diamonds ('cutting,' 'lyshtva,' 'backstitch'). On the shoulder — four stylized flowers arranged horizontally ('cutting,' 'lyshtva'). The sleeve surface is filled with a vertical embroidery on the 'branch' motif — three stems with 'broken' branches ('cutting,' 'lyshtva,' 'kuryachiy brid'). The cuff is embroidered with a geometric ornament: diamonds with sprouts and 'ram's horns' ('lyshtva'), the cuff edge is decorated with stitched buttonholes ('buttonhole stitch'). Legend: Woven, sewn, and embroidered by Hanna Ivanivna Rudenko, who lived at the address: Kharkiv Region, Chuhuiv District, village of Bazaliyivka.
