Thank you so much Irene for sharing. It brought back wonderful memories for my husband And I loved the photo of the little ones in their Ukrainian dress. p.s. Any idea if these can be purchased and where?

[IreneLviv]

What is it that you would like to purchase? Ukie dress? Do not know about coats but embroidered shirts and skirts can be found in the markets

sjoyce,
have you looked at the Canadian site Ukrainian store Yevshan The largest Ukrainian on-line catalog I don't know if they have what you want, but they are very good.

Wolodymyr: Thank you and I did have a look. I will write them to see if they have childrens costumes. I could make one, but don't want to have to do that much embroidery

Can you downsize an adult costume to fit a child? I'm sure it could be done with the mens shirts but I'm not a seamstress.

Thanks AkMike. I am sure I could. I saw some patterns on one site. I spend a lot of my time making quilts, clothing, and knitted items for orphanages & seniors in Western Ukraine through my church I also saw shirts for children. A bit of a dilema for me. My husbands family comes from the Carpathian part of the country. I know the dress is different in different regions. Not sure what I should even be looking for!
