Ukrainian vyshyvanka
Everyone needs a vyshyvanka!
Vyshyvanka is a traditional Ukrainian clothing, mostly
shirt, with originally a hand-made emroidery.
If we go back to history, there is no clear date of the embroidered
shirt origin. It is said that the Ukrainian embroidered shirt is
extremely ancient and embroidered clothes were created before the VI
century.
Ukrainians believed that the embroidered shirt is a talisman against all
the evil that can happen in human life, and tried to encode happiness,
destiny, life and will in the ornament.
Almost every Ukrainian family has an embroidered shirt with different
patterns on it. Each region of Ukraine has a
specific pattern, ornaments, traditional colors, which embroider a
shirt and are typical for this area.
