Traditional Ukrainian costumes from 17 regions reconstructed in video project

"Spadok" reveals beauty of Ukraine's traditional garments: Videos
Ukrainian folk costumes are diverse. Every ethnographic region at different times had its own peculiarities of the national garment. The project “Spadok” (“Legacy” or “Heritage”) shows the originality of the Ukrainian regional traditional dress.

“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.

[editorial] Ukrainian folk costume’s look depends on the ethnographic region, even though the varieties share many common features. For example, men’s vyshyvanka (shirt) and women’s sorochka (chemise) had the embroidery on the hem, neck, and cuffs in all historic regions.

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.
