• Родиться в рубашке (perf.)
[rа-di-tsa v ru-bash-ke]
SLT: To be born in a shirt

Meaning:
This idiom describes someone incredibly lucky, someone who always escapes danger or difficult situations unscathed.

English Equivalent: 
To be born under a lucky star, born with a silver spoon in one's mouth

Etymology:
The expression likely originates from the belief that babies born enveloped in the amniotic sac (the "shirt") were especially protected and destined for good fortune. 

Example:
• Ей чудом удалось остаться целой в этой аварии. Она родилась в рубашке!
She miraculously survived that accident. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth!
