Men's embroidered shirt with a collar Chernihivska

The textured embroidery of this shirt reproduces the ornamentation of the Chernihiv region, Nizhyn district, in the first half of the 20th century.

The shirt is straight and voluminous. The central placket has hidden buttons.The classic folding stand collar is fastened with a wooden button.

Various machine embroidery techniques were used to imitate hand stitches.

The ornament is floral and geometric, wavy branches (‘lamane hil’tse’) motif.

In the folk tradition, shirts "embroidered with oak" were common - the embroidery thread was dyed in a decoction of oak bark.

An interesting technique is the punch needle one, known as "nightingale eyes", when it is used to make the entire element of the ornament.
