She mostly uses machine embroidery for decoration. And the ornaments themselves are an author's vision, an interpretation of ancient embroidery patterns[2] that Lyuba finds in expeditions or private collections. As for embroidery, it is borshchivska and nyzynka (a type of regional Ukrainian embroidery), which are popular in many regions of Ukraine.[3]
Also, the outfit is decorated with elements from headscarves, lace, woven elements, which are made by hand on an old loom.
