#1 The world can be an unpredictable place, so you must prepare before you venture out there. There are good forces and not-so-good ones, and you must understand how the spirit world works. Your clothing is one of your layers of magic, and it can protect you from the scorching summer sun or the icy winds of winter.

#2 The vyshyvanky are covered with sacred symbols. These charms are embroidered down the sleeves or over the front of the bodice, but they are also applied to the neckline, cuffs, and hem: the openings of the garment.

#3 My mother taught me to embroider, and I loved to dress up in vintage costumes. I had no idea that the symbols themselves had any meaning, but I sensed their magic. They looked like something from a fairy tale, and they made me believe that if I wore something romantic, I could have encounters with magical beings.

#4 While people today wear vyshyvanky with the colors and patterns that appeal to them, in the past, each region, and even each village, had its own style. Embroidery was a secret language that could identify where a piece was made and who made it.
