Did I hit a bullseye or what, mate? Could have thrown in the terry towelled hat and the esky as well..that’s the full garb. Paul Hogan is the poster boy for your typical Aussie bloke in his Arfur Dunger character lol.

You are right very similar around the world. Mexicans use mainly flower designs in theirs, similar to your first blouse, hand stitched in the X pattern.

[@AnnafromUkraine]

I know, I see so much in common with Mexican design and even colors sometimes!

[@cloudattack3279]

Traditional dress in my country, Australia, is a blue singlet lol. Some of the vyshvynkas of the entire greater region are beautiful. Very tasteful too. Thanks, Anna. 🇦🇺

[@AnnafromUkraine]

Thank you so much!

[@JasmineTheSaint]

Hi Anna....I hope you're in good spirits despite the circumstances. I was waiting for the history behind these beautiful embroidered shirts. 💙💛

[@pacifist9805]

I was about to ask before if she has a national costume. It would be interesting to see whole outfit with headdress or what is it called. Any costume jewelries?

[@AnnafromUkraine]

Thank you for watching!

[@AnnafromUkraine]

jewelries I have, a costume - no((

[@Timmt09]

Absolutely beautiful

Congrats to President Zelensky who was looking smug today with his caqui and oak leaves vyshyvanka!

I love this video! I was curious about the significance of the Fish Ivanka (Hey, Siri tried! LOL), ever since I began watching content regarding Ukraine. Now I know. And, oh my, so BEAUTIFUL! And the shirts are beautiful too! 😝 Слава Україні!

[@AnnafromUkraine]

Героям слава! Greetings to Siri)

[@doubleplusgoodthinker9434]

Anna, you look very lovely. You are lucky to have a national costume. In England we do not really have one. Some of my Cornish relatives wear kilts (the men that is!) But not me. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦!

[@AnnafromUkraine]

oh, kilts! love that!

[@climatehero]

Very pretty national costumes! Let's hope they'll protect you from evil Keep safe!

[@margit6521]

They are so beautiful ! Like pieces of art. I wonder - it must have taken months at least to stitch the embroidery. Wonder if they are hand made nowdays too,or made by machine ?

[@AnnafromUkraine]

Both versions exist and define the price

[@AJ-Lohinska]

Happy Vyshyvanka Day, Anna! All three of your embroidered garments are really beautiful. I quite like the second one too, the colour combination is lovely too, as well as the embroidery design. I giggled at your "inside and outside" remark, it reminded me of my Dad's attempts at getting the English language right! The region-specific embroidery patterns are incredibly interesting to read about. Many vyshyvanka tell a story too. Each area has its well-known colours and pattern designs. I love that aspect of the vyshyvanka! I know a lot of the cultural history became hidden because of the past repression of Ukraine's cultural traditions - but as with everything in Ukraine, you can't keep a good thing down! I heard that some shirts and other garments were actually hidden underground to keep them safe - now rediscovered. It is wonderful to see the research and handed-down knowledge being documented and kept for posterity now. The internet has really helped too, to preserve that important history. Some of the seamstresses who make vyshyvanka in traditional hand-sewn style, in Ukraine, are donating the profits from their sales to the Ukrainian Army, etc., It's lovely to see Ukrainian women online passing on their sewing skills and knowledge - for us descendants who were unable to be taught by our ancestors. It's a lovely way to connect us to our heritage.

[@AnnafromUkraine]

Thank you so much! yes, this is a precious element of our culture and I am so glad it survived all the repressions

[@jpz6768]

Wow! Ana looked stunning with that Ukrainian native dress 😍💛💙💛💙🇺🇦

[@alfieconnsboot]

Now thats what I call a beautiful array of shirts. Is it possible you have a Kohushanka sheepskin coat we would love to see one.

[@jimwhelan4524]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful collection, Anna, and for all your vlogs. Slava Ukraini!

[@AnnafromUkraine]

Thank you for watching!

[@DavidOatney]

I'm late to view this one because it's morning here and you published this yesterday, but your vyshivankas are so beautiful Anna I loved looking at them and I loved seeing you wear them. The embroidery is wonderful. This is particularly special to see because this is the kind of thing that so many in the West do not say about Ukraine, the beautiful parts of Ukraine's traditional culture. I love the colors so much.

[@AnnafromUkraine]

Thank you! I am really glad you liked it)

[@RC-nq7mg]

Anna, I have been watching your videos since earlier on when you stared the blog, I did not see this one until recently. I found it a bit funny that I had just ordered myself vyshyvanka from Ukraine and a short while after your video popped up in my recommended feed. I have always found a woman wearing vyshyvanka absolutely stunning. The quality and detail in Ukrainian embroidery is incredible.

[@hectorparedes93]

Hola Anna, hope you are doing well. Thank you for sharing this side of the Ukrainian culture. Take care, be well 🌻

[@AnnafromUkraine]

Gracias!

It's an awe moment to know that u guys take time to cherish these little things in the middle of the war!Saw your president's Pic in such an attire and I was wondering why he was wearing such a attire😂

[@andibates7086]

Hello anna. Wow you are looking wonderful in traditional clothes. Looks so amazing they are well suited and make you come more alive. Nature is your gift with you so beautiful. Traditions are a lovely way of celebrating life. Take care stay safe please anna. Glory to you. Glory for all of Ukrainians. SLAVA UKRAINA. ❤💋⚘💞🇺🇦

[@andibates7086]

Hello anna you wonderful friend. Every one of the vyshyvanka's is a work of are with details in bedded from the one's who gave there designs. Such beautiful colours. Such pride that Ukrainians have. Thankyou for sharing with everyone for me it means a great deal. Know about the shirts and blouses but had not heard there were skirts as well and they would be amazing to see as they are based on natural linen. Take care and like your own vyshyvanka's. SLAVA UKRAINA ❤💋⚘💞🇺🇦

[@frankswarbrick7562]

The one with the blue (the second one and the one you showed at the end) is definitely my favorite. Is there any concern with "cultural appropriation" for non-Ukrainians to wear these?

[@AnnafromUkraine]

we love everyone who wears them and encourage that)

[@puhistagram]

Thx for todays vlog. Vyshyvankas are so cool ❤️ Because Picasso had one, I want one too ! Can you identify areas where shirts are from, based on ornament? Can you tell where Mr. Presindent Zelenskys shirt was from? How about Picassos vyshyvankas area? I think Linen is best material for Vyshyvankas. It looks best. Cotton might be nice as well, you probably refer that with canvas? I like roughness in design.. is there winter vyshyvankas? Thank you for consistent stream of intellectual and educational content. Stay safe. Stay strong. Slava Ukraini 🌻🙏🇺🇦

[@AnnafromUkraine]

Thank you! You must come one day, when it is safe, and get a vyshyvanka for yourself. I am not sure I am that good at identifying all the regional ornaments, but some I can guess

[@puhistagram]

@@AnnafromUkraine I will. 🙏

[@johac7637]

I have my Mother's embroidered items that she did in her Elementary school years, it is priceless to me and my Sister, it shows her progress, and also some crocheting, she said her Mother keeps those with her during their flight from the Russians as they fled West, her thoughts were that it would be some of her kids only real things of their heritage in Chernovitsi. I'm hoping that my kids will cherish them, but for now culture means little to them, 2nd generation Canadian, and really no interest in what we call " The Old County".

[@AnnafromUkraine]

maybe one day they will se the Old Country and feel it more

[@johac7637]

@@AnnafromUkraine I did visit, but was during USSR days, 1984, it was nice, but really about the people, country, not about the Government, I was mid 20s, single, the cute girls wanted a date, marry, move to Canada, Mom said it not smart, they will miss home, and it's not good to live under Russia, so today I understand, then felt flattered, but was a shy kid. So here we are and I see why that was such a very wise statement, now I have 2 daughters possibly a bit older than you.

[@CymInUA]

Very pretty. Do men have Vyshyvankas too?

[@ricklindqvist3438]

They do!

[@AnnafromUkraine]

yes, the male version has a little bit different design

[@Imrickjamesb15h]

Yyshyvankas are beautiful and symbolic of Ukrainians rich culture. I really enjoy learning about other cultures, Thanks for telling us about your culture. Do men wear something similar? Stay safe and God bless you and your country.

[@AnnafromUkraine]

yes, men also wear male type of vyshyvanka

E Pluribus Unum Out of many, One. We are a multinational nation, so we have diverse traditional dress and different time period dress. If you examine American Girl dolls, you will discover multiple examples. Native American regalia differs among regions, from cedar hats in the Pacific Northwest to the Southeast Seminole Indians. We have a tremendous collection of museums, from the Smithsonian Buildings in Washington, D.C. to scattered museums across the United States.

[@AnnafromUkraine]

That is vey interesting!

[@CO84trucker]

The Austrian/Hungarian side of my family regularly attended social events at a Donauschwaben German club near Cleveland OH. This branch of the German diaspora, in the wake of the world wars, endured heavy persecution at the hands of the Yugoslavians, Soviets & Warsaw Pact powers before immigrating west. Like many ethnic diasporas, preserving their language & customs is paramount. One verse in their anthem loosely translated emphasizes this pretty well: "Deiner Sprache, deiner Sitte, Deinen Toten bleibe treu! Steh in deines Volkes Mitte, Was sein Schicksal immer sei!" "Remain loyal to your language, customs and ancestors, no matter what the cost may be!"

[@AnnafromUkraine]

very strong words!

I know I am a few day late, but I'll share the link that Anna was talking about (I browsed throught the comments and the description and I didn't find it, so I'll give it here) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH-pdpaVlrCZi9k It's a playlist of the "spadok" project, with the traditional costumes of various areas and I think it contains all the videos made. I watched them all, and I really recommend it to you guys, it's a work of quality and beauty ! I love the collar of the third vyshyvanka, it's unusual and I like it! My favorite is the second with various colors and rich embroidery, and indeed it must look very nice with jeans. I was watching a documentary about Ukraine (before the war) with my mom the other day, and we both agreed that your traditional costume is very beautiful and good looking, and compared to it, the traditional costume of my native region is not attractive at all, haha. Some traditional clothes from some regions are known in France (like Alsace or Brittany) but the one from my area is defintely not popular at all or attractive. I don't know it super well but the couple times I saw it in pictures I didn't like it much. It's so cool that you have a day to celebrate traditional costumes.
