How to choose a vyshyvanka
Hand or machine. On the reverse, hand embroidery shows small variations between stitches; machine work is perfectly even, often with a stabilizer backing. If the listing doesn't say, ask the shop.
Fabric. Linen is the classic choice: breathable and softer with every wash. Cotton is lighter and smoother.
Size. Compare the measurements, listed in centimeters, with a shirt that fits you well. Linen has little stretch, so allow some ease across the chest.
Made to order and custom requests
Many vyshyvanky are sewn after you order. For a particular size, thread color or motif, send the shop a custom request. The shop decides whether to take it on and agrees the details with you, then publishes an item at the agreed price that only you can see. You buy it like any other order.
