Vyshyvanka for a girl Petrykivka 4330 size 152

A «Petrykivka» vyshyvanka for a girl — a white children’s shirt in cotton. The floral ornament is worked in the style of Petrykivka painting in machine satin stitch. The embroidery is placed along the length of the sleeves and on the chest of the piece. The back of the shirt is plain, and the neckline and the edges of the sleeves are delicately trimmed. Natural cotton is pleasant against a child’s skin and breathes well.

Petrykivka painting echoes the motifs in which Ukrainian embroidery blossomed over the centuries. The white ground makes this ethnic garment light and formal. A shirt like this becomes a foundation of a children’s national costume for celebrations and school parties. The floral satin stitch embroidery makes this traditional dress soft and festive. It is easy to complete with a little skirt, a flower crown or accessories for a finished look.
