Children's vyshyvankas for the first of September are festive shirts and blouses that differ in fabric, colour, the placement of the ornament and the finishing of the sleeves. This review presents six designs for girls and boys.

Vyshyvankas for the first of September for a girl

In a girl's festive look a vyshyvanka can be a gentle addition or the main colour accent. For this selection we have chosen three designs with different ornaments.

1. Vyshyvanka for a girl with flowers VD1

This light design with delicate flowers suits a calm, gentle school look. The embroidery sits on the chest and the long sleeves, so the shirt looks smart even without additional decoration.

The base is interlock, a soft jersey fabric. The design can be worn with a plain skirt, classic trousers or a pinafore dress. An outfit like this does not overload photographs with detail, and the floral ornament stays clearly visible.

2. Vyshyvanka for a girl with poppies 4318

This is a white shirt with red poppies on the front and the sleeves. The neckline is decorated with a ruffle — a gathered decorative trim — and a fine red tie. Thanks to the contrasting design, it will look good with a navy, black or red bottom half.

The shirt is sewn from batiste, a fine, light fabric. The product page notes separately that the design comes up one size small, so do check the measurements chart carefully before buying.

3. Vyshyvanka for a girl «Swallow» 4340

«Swallow» is the option for parents looking for a more expressive festive design. A rich pattern sits on the chest and sleeves, and the neckline is finished with a ruffle and a fine ribbon.

An ornament is a decorative composition of repeating elements, and its single repeating part is called a rapport. In this design the embroidery becomes the centre of the whole look, so the skirt, trousers and accessories are best chosen plain.

Other designs can be seen in the vyshyvankas for girls category.

Vyshyvankas for the first of September for a boy

For a boy you can choose a classic light shirt or a coloured design that draws the eye at once. The selection holds options with long and short sleeves.

4. Children's vyshyvanka for a boy 4412

This light shirt is decorated with a geometric ornament in red and brown shades. The embroidery sits on the chest, the collar and the cuffs — the finished ends of the sleeves at the wrists.

The neckline is finished with kutasyky — decorative tufts of thread. They keep the traditional character of the design and need no additional accessories. The vyshyvanka can be worn with dark classic trousers or plain jeans.

5. Embroidered shirt for a boy 7176-3

This white shirt with a light blue pattern suits a light, restrained outfit. The machine embroidery — an ornament worked on special machinery — is made in cross stitch, in which the stitches cross one another.

The design has long sleeves and is made from natural cotton. The white and light blue pairing can be completed with blue, grey or graphite trousers. If a blazer is planned, do check that the cuffs sit comfortably under it.

6. Light blue vyshyvanka for a boy 7176-к

Unlike the classic white shirts, this design has a light blue base and a contrasting white ornament. The vyshyvanka is made from natural cotton and has short sleeves, so it is worth considering for warm weather.

The neckline is decorated with white tassels — hanging decorative elements made of thread. They repeat the colour of the embroidery and complete the composition. The design can be worn with navy, white or grey trousers.

Other options are gathered in the vyshyvankas for boys section.

Oksana's tip: for a festive outfit it is better to choose one main detail. If the shirt has a rich pattern, the bottom half and the accessories can stay restrained. If the embroidery is delicate, the look can be completed with a coloured skirt, a waistcoat or a small piece of jewellery.
