Tunic-style shirt made of unbleached hemp canvas. The bodice is sewn from three pieces of canvas. The central panel (50 cm wide) is folded in half, with side panels (21 cm wide) slightly angled on the inner side. The sleeve is fully cut, three-quarter length, sewn along the grain with 'backstitch,' angled, and finished at the bottom with a thin 0.5 cm edge. The round neckline has a 25 cm slit at the center, finished with 'backstitch.' At the ends of the binding, there is a loop on the left and a brown button on the right. The joining seams of the bodice at the bottom are decorated with a 'worm' stitch in blue, green, and black 'mouline' threads. The hem is finished with a 'prutik' openwork and decorated with another parallel 1.5 cm wide openwork row. The openwork ornament is geometric (zigzag 'angles') made with bleached hemp threads.
