How to Choose a Vyshyvanka for Your Figure. Women’s Vyshyvankas by Body Type

Every woman in a vyshyvanka radiates beauty, dignity, and femininity. But to ensure the look is not only traditional but also flattering, it’s important to consider your body shape. The right vyshyvanka can highlight your waist, soften hip lines, add visual height, or balance proportions.
Polonets designs styles that are not only beautiful but tailored to real women's shapes. We’ll help you find a vyshyvanka that suits you perfectly — no matter your age, height, or figure.

Which Style Flatters Your Shape? Vyshyvanka Cuts for Women

Hourglass — the most balanced body type. Go for fitted models with accentuated waists and embroidery at the center or on the belt.
Pear shape (hips wider than shoulders) — choose embroidery on the shoulders, looser bottoms, and straight or A-line silhouettes. Avoid large patterns around the hips.
Apple shape (dominant midsection) — opt for relaxed cuts and vertical embroidery. Avoid tight-fitting styles.
Rectangle (even shoulders and hips, minimal waist definition) — try vyshyvankas with belts, wide sleeves, or asymmetric hems.
Petite — look for shorter styles with embroidery focused on the upper part; avoid large full-length motifs.
Plus-size — choose minimalist cuts with fine embroidery, deeper necklines, and soft vertical lines to flatter your shape.

Tips on Choosing the Right Vyshyvanka. How Not to Make a Mistake?

  • Choose a size that’s comfortable, not tight — natural looks better than “squeezed”.
  • Avoid excessive decoration — embroidery should enhance your figure, not overpower it.
  • Mind the fabric: soft linen, viscose, or silk blends drape better than stiff materials.
