A11 – SHIRTS FROM BANAT

Everything you need to understand right away. We explore the fashions and the patterns that have generated echoes of concentric diamonds to this day.

I’ll explain it to you together with Gabriela, as I also learned, in stages. So:

There’s a lot of geometry in complex diamonds…would that be hard to do? As intricate as the embroidery is, as relaxed are the pattern cutting diagrams. Indeed, it seems that each woman cut the shirt as she wanted, so that it would fit well on her body. And yet, beyond freedom is not chaos. The shirts from the region have a special, well-defined character. The secret is hidden in certain areas. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to juggle as many diamonds as you want.
