“Spadok” is a collection of short atmospheric videos, devoted to the national traditional costumes of various oblasts and raions of Ukraine. The researchers reveal the most typical items for every mentioned region and recreate the beautiful historic apparel.
There were two categories of Ukrainian women’s garment: costumes of married women and unmarried girls. Their main difference with garments Ukrainian girls and women wore was that, normally, girls wore their hair uncovered, without a headgear using floral wreaths, ribbons, or flowers as an adornment. The girls also wore more colorful clothing and more jewelry than married women.
