In love with Ukrainian Vyshyvanka
The jewel in the crown of Ukraine
Ukrainian Vyshyvanka - is the colloquial name of the traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt. History of Vyshyvanka, technician and methods of her implementation are by the world-wide type of art of the Ukrainian people.
For the unversed, it comprises an embroidered shirt or blouse with detailed and intricate patterns. It is hailed as a
folk costume, but worn regularly in the country, too, with colours such as black, red, white being basic, and yellow,
blue and green being supplementary.
Vyshyvanka is treated like a talisman, and it is believed that the wearer will be protected. It is mostly seen in
geometric patterns like squares, rhombuses and diamonds. Locals strongly believe that whoever wears the attire, will be
able to survive in any situation — it stands for all positive feelings like courage, strength, luck, and of course,
patriotism.
