Lovely men’s traditional attire from western Ukraine, the late 19th – early 20th century. The shirt is long and beautifully embroidered, complemented with a wide hand-woven belt. And a straw hat adds a nice touch.
Festive traditional outfits of married couple from central Ukraine, the late 19th – early 20th century. This is peasant clothing but the needlework is so skillful.
Rather simple and humble-looking Ukrainian traditional attire. The shirt looks not very colorful but, actually, it’s skillfully made (unfortunately, we have no closer photo of embroidery). This outfit probably belonged to a middle-aged woman because there are few embellishments and vivid colors. Only the woven belt is colorful. The kerchief is bright but without any prints. Anyway, the folk costume looks elegant.
