Vyshyvanka is a traditional embroidered dress with a centuries-old history in Ukraine.

The first embroidered clothes on the territory of the Slavic countries had religious meaning and were said to protect their owners from evil

The fashion brand My Sleeping Gypsy brings new life to this ancestral design technique. Its beautiful embroidered clothing aims to reconnect women to their roots and cultural heritage.

This stunning dress is COMPLETELY HANDMADE in the Ukraine with 100% genuine linen fabric.

It features intricate traditional embroidery (which has different meanings) and is perfect for a variety of occasions including travel, parties, or casual wear. It has a matching belt plus two pockets. I also had made a spare belt and this will also be sold with the dress.

The long sleeves and midi length make it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

The ivory/cream colour and bohemian/national dress theme give a unique designer touch.

Get this beautiful piece and embrace the elegant Ukrainian culture wherever you go.

I had this dress made for me in 2016. It actually has my name embroidered on the back of the neck of the gown. It cannot be seen when wearing dress but it would not be difficult to have it removed if the buyer so wished.

As mentioned it is totally handmade. Linen is a fabric which lasts generations and Ukrainian ladies have some vyshyvanka dresses that were once their great grandmothers!!
