Description

Shirt made of bleached hemp canvas. Straight silhouette, bodice sewn from three panels, 'dodіlna.' The sleeve with an inset, sewn along the weft, straight, with a gusset, gathered with 'puffy' gathers, gathered at the bottom, with a cuff. The bodice and insets are gathered near the neckline. The neckline is rectangular — kareshaped, with a central slit and two slit loops, finished with a narrow cuff. The insets, sleeves, and hem are embroidered with red and black woolen thread using the cross-stitch technique in a floral pattern. The inset features a horizontal stripe of a pattern composed of a broken line, with stylized poppies and branches with three leaflets attached at the bends. This pattern is framed on both sides by a thin stripe of geometric flowers. The sleeves have a scattering of poppy bouquets. The neckline is decorated with a geometric pattern of small diamonds, made with straight satin stitch in red threads. The hem is adorned with two horizontal rows of embroidery: a narrower one in the form of a broken line, and a wider one with leaflets and branches.
