“Vesnoviy” Short-Sleeved Blouse

The silhouette and palette find their muse in Viktor Zaretsky’s painting “Before School”. The cross-stitch embroidery references ornaments found on traditional ceremonial towels from the Cherkasy region. Voluminous puff sleeves are gathered with elastic and finished with delicate Richelieu cutwork. The neckline is secured by dual tasseled ties that match the embroidery.
