Figure 1.--These Ukranian girls in 2002 wear the fancy uniform of white hairbows, black dress, and white pinafore that was common in Soviet days. Now this uniform is only worn for special occassions. |

We have very limited information on the school uniforms worn by Ukranian girls. The Ukraine was part of the Tsarist Empire and the Soviet union until the disolution of the Soviet Union (1991). We have no information on the Tsarist era. Ukranian gir;s during the Soviet era wore the uniform mandated by Soviet authorities throughout the Soviet Union. This was a black dress, white pinafore, and white hairbows. We had thought that this uniform disappeared with the disolution of the Soviet Union. A HBC readers tells us, however, that Ukranian girls still wear this uniform on special occassions such as the first and last day of school. This is essentially the same pattern as in Russia.
