National Clothes<\/h1>\n

Vyshyvanka (an embroided shirt) is a traditional embroidered piece of clothing. People also embroider blouses, dresses, skirts and aprons. Embroidery was started by women and is still considered to be a woman’s activity today. Almost every woman knows how to embroider in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Embroidery has a long history. It was used to decorate fabrics for home and churches. Embroidered fabrics mainly included towels, pillowcases, handkerchiefs, etc. An embroidered rushnyk is a symbolic piece of cloth that is used in many rituals, during a wedding for example.<\/p>\n

The main piece of clothing that is embroidered is a shirt. Mostly sleeves, cuffs, the neck,  and the front are embroidered. There are many designs. Different areas in Ukraine have various ornamental patterns. Some of them are presented below.<\/p>\n
