    Description

    Every Ukrainian has had a holiday shirt since ancient times. Such shirts were always made in white. Even the poorest residents always had a festive light shirt, which was reserved for special and solemn occasions. Almost every family kept linen Ukrainian embroidered shirts in a dress box. Such shirts usually differed in cream or gray hue, as they were made of unpainted fabric. Embroidery - as a symbol that preserves its roots, identity, self-understanding. This is our history: mythology, religion, the ancient art of our ancestors, the soul of our people. Moreover, our genetic code is encrypted in the embroidery.
