Dear customers!

Before you start sewing any product, you need to take measurements. A professional dressmaker knows that if it is correct to take measurements from a female body, this is already half the success. And even if you never took measurements, strictly following the instructions below, you can do it without difficulty.

Important: before proceeding to take measurements, wear underwear that you intend to wear under the product, because modern tights can give the effect of “stretch” and remove from 1 to 3 cm in volume, and bras, on the contrary - add volume.

Each historical epoch brought certain changes in the art of embroidery in the Hutsul region. The appearance of plant motifs of arbitrary interpretation is a rare phenomenon, it is the influence of embroidery of neighboring peoples. In general, the ancient geometric basis has been preserved and constantly developed in Hutsul embroidery. Hutsul masters showed a deep understanding of beauty, a kind of poetry of geometric and graphic lines, harmonies of form and rhythm.

It is believed that the roots of the doll-motanka reach the Trypillia culture, which is six thousand years BC. The first such dolls were made of grass or straw, and later, with the spread of weaving, began to use fabric and yarn. We can say that the doll-motanka is the oldest image of a human figure in the world, as well as the forerunner of sculpture.

The richness of Hutsul embroidery is demonstrated even in the variety of technical execution.

Volodymyr Shukhevych in his fundamental work “Hutsulshchyna” presents 12 techniques of Hutsul embroidery: lowland of two types, stitching, braid, hemming, pigtail, seam “across the needle” (“stick”), shtapivka (“lattice”), flooring (“pine” ), ("Cross"), double-sided stitching ("braided lace", "circus net").

The study of the geography of folk art crafts in Hutsulse is particularly relevant, because the restoration of traditional homemade craft and national folk population will solve a number of social, environmental, economic and spiritual problems. Obviously, the Renaissance program and the organization of folk artistic fields requires a deep analysis of all aspects of individual production (working conditions, the presence of raw materials, sales forms), which depend on the geography of craft centers and the artistic traditions of each village.

One of the most common and accessible types of Ukrainian folk art is embroidery. In Ukrainian folk embroidery, with common features common to all regions of Ukraine, there are clear local differences, logically justified by geographical, historical and social factors.

Wicker weaving is the production of household and artistic products from various elastic raw materials, one of the most ancient crafts. It originated, like ceramics, earlier than the processing of wood, metal, which needed the appropriate tools of production. Its traces were found by archaeologists in the Neolithic. The oldest monuments of Ukrainian weaving date from the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. and are stored in museums of Kiev, Lviv and other cities родов.
