Vyshyvanka for a girl with sunflowers 4344 size 116

A vyshyvanka for a girl with sunflowers — a white cotton children’s shirt. The piece is decorated with embroidery in the form of large sunflowers on the wide sleeves. The raglan sleeve is gathered at the lower edge into a cuff with a loop and a button. The armholes, the neckline and the lower edge of the sleeve are trimmed with decorative topstitching. Natural cotton is pleasant against a child’s skin and breathes well.

The sunflower motif carries on the symbolism in which Ukrainian embroidery blossomed over the centuries. The sunflower is a warm, sunny symbol, which makes this ethnic garment special. A shirt like this becomes a foundation of a children’s national costume for celebrations and school parties. The wide sleeves make this traditional garment smart and festive. It is easy to complete with a little skirt, a flower crown or accessories for a finished look.
