"Vala" shirt
The "Vala" shirt is a replica of an old shirt from Latvian folklore, which stands out for its simplicity and minimalism.
It features, like the original, refined, and solid finishings: French seams and dart yokes at the top of the slit on each side.
The amigaut collar is closed with small mother-of-pearl buttons, which makes it different from the original shirt. Indeed, it was formerly closed only with a fibula or a pin, to prevent the wringing, carried out with a wooden bat against a stone, from breaking the buttons... Because our modern washing machines are much gentler on our clothes, we decided to use more modern buttons for a practical aspect.
However, you can wear it with your favorite brooch, as suggested in the last photo, to echo the Latvian folk costume.
Elvira (first model) is 170 cm tall (5'6) and wears the size S/M.
Her measurements are : bust 91cm 35.8" / waist 66cm 25.9"/ hips 90cm 35.4".
Sheela (second model) wears the size L/XL.
