Design Vyshyvanka (Ukrainian: вишива́нка) is a casual name for the embroidered shirt in Ukrainian
The embroidery is a fundamental element of the Ukrainian folk costume. It not only speaks of its Ukrainian origin but also of the particular region in which it was made. The knowing eye could detect where people are from by their clothes. In Ukraine different techniques exist to suit local styles with their own particular patterns and colors. In Ukrainian embroidery, black, red, and white colors are basic, and yellow, blue, and green are supplementary.
The symbolism of Ukrainian embroidery contains a hidden meaning for those who wore it; the ornamentation is a coded pattern that serves as a charm, or protects you from trouble, or gives good luck and prosperity.
