This region is found in north central Zakarpattia. A closely related costume is found just over the border in southern Skole region of L’viw Oblast, centered around the village of Volosianka.
In this region, the opening of the womens’ chemise is also on the side, and the front of the shirt is smocked all the way across. The smocking tubes, however do not extend down the entire front of the shirt. The embroidery has mostly remained geometric. There is no shoulder inset, and the sleeves, as in the last region are cut in one piece. The aprons, and even the skirts are often made from bought cloth. The chepets is based on a wooden ring, with sprang worked into a tube which is then folded down towards the back.
Some of the villages in the northwest wear an intermediate costume. This includes floral embroidery on the chemise, and at times a linen vest, also with floral embroidery.
Most of this region uses geometric embroidery.
Across the border, in L’viw Oblast, southern Skole district, the costume is somewhat different, especially the vest used. This includes the villages of Volosianka and Tukhol’ka. The vest seems to be made of woven wool, and is embroidered in the floral style of the northeastern Boikos
The men in this region used to wear a shirt which was smocked front and back, and had embroidery on the collar, cuffs, and epaulets.
Kul’chytska’s drawing above shows the opening in front. This photo from the village of Lavochne shows men wearing this shirt with the opening in back.
5 Mizh-hiria Міжгір’я Region
This region is found in the southeast corner of Boiko Land, in the upper reaches of the Rika and Tereblia river valleys. It is centered on the town of Mizhhiria, previously called Volove. I have drawn it extending slightly into Ivano-Frankiwsk Oblast, but I have no direct confirmation of that.
The costume in this region uses the embroidered white Boiko skirt, especially in the upper parts, and the embroidered chemise style of lowland Transcarpathia, resembling those of Khust and Tereblia regions. Thus the embroidery often forms a vertical rectangle or rhombus on the sleeves, which are cut in one piece to the collar. The opening tends to be in the rear.
To the northeast of this region, in southwestern Ivano-Frankiwsk Oblast is a broad strip of territory with very few villages, about which I have no information.
6 Yasen’ Ясень Region
This is a relatively small costume region, centered around the village of Yasen’ and its surroundings.
The distinctive feature of this region is the long sheepskin vests with wide collars that are made of striped black and white sheepskin. There are ornamental teeth along the front opening. The shirt opening is in the front.
7 Perehins’ke Перегінське Region
This represents the northeast corner of Boiko Land, around the town of Perehins’ke, as far west as the village of Lolyn.
