Traditional matching vyshyvankas, made in the same style, have been passed down from generation to generation for several centuries. Embroidered garments share the same colors and similar patterns, which is what creates a coordinated set. In the past, it was believed that such clothing—especially the embroidery on it—symbolized goodness and prosperity, and also protected the wearers from misfortune.
Matching vyshyvankas are often purchased for weddings or as a gift for newlyweds or married couples on the occasion of an anniversary. The online store «Galychanka» offers collections that feature matching embroidered shirts: sets for couples, as well as for parents and children. They feature original ornaments typical of different regions of Ukraine. You will find both classic and modern models—all of them stylish and elegant.
How to choose matching family vyshyvankas?
Before buying vyshyvankas for a couple, newlyweds, or parents and children, pay attention to the following criteria:
- Fabric.
It is very important what material the shirt is made from, as the level of comfort depends on it. For example, homespun linen allows the skin to «breathe». It is a soft fabric made by hand and pleasant to the touch. Linen (either factory-made or gauze linen) also produces natural fabrics, so these garments are quite practical. Cotton items are somewhat less comfortable but a bit more affordable. Its alternative is gabardine, which is currently in the highest demand on the market. If you want to buy matching sets for the hot summer season, it is best to choose models made of batiste, as this material is delicate and comfortable.
- Embroidery.
It can be either hand-made or machine-made. Handmade matching family vyshyvankas are more expensive because creating such a set requires a lot of effort and time. Thanks to modern technologies, shirts and dresses with machine embroidery look neat and attractive and visually differ very little from handmade work.
Embroidery can also vary in type and coverage area, which affects the price: patterns embroidered directly on the shirt will be more expensive than those sewn on top of the main fabric. The larger the ornament in area, the more expensive the model will be.
- Design.
Pay attention to the color and patterns. If you are looking for festive family vyshyvanka sets, it is better to choose white models with traditional embroidery (red and black), as well as ornaments in red, white, blue, and green.
Black outfits are a great option for celebrations, gatherings with friends, trips to the theater, or concerts. For everyday wear, any patterns will work. For men, geometric ornaments are usually the best choice, while floral motifs are traditionally considered feminine.
- Cut.
Matching vyshyvanka sets can have almost any cut. The most important thing is that they are comfortable for you. Such sets may include not only shirts but also embroidered dresses or blouses. There are models with short and long sleeves, different necklines, collars, and more. Usually, the cut of a men’s matching vyshyvanka is more conservative. Most often, the differences appear in the collar and sleeve shape.
