The development of embroidery
Over time, embroidery became more and more complex and detailed. In the 19th century, embroidery on the embroidery machine became widespread, leading to new technologies and embellishments.

However, during the Soviet period, embroidery was not particularly censored, and by the end of the 20th century it became popular again. Currently, Ukrainian designers create modern interpretations of embroidery using new technologies and materials.

Embroidered symbolism
Each pattern and embroidery design has its own symbolic meaning associated with Ukrainian culture. For example, geometric patterns symbolize growing plants and crops, while images of birds and animals symbolize happiness and prosperity.

In general, vyshyvanka is the main symbol of Ukrainian culture and national dignity. It continues to be a popular element of clothing that passes the traditions and history of Ukraine from generation to generation.
