Designer Silk Kurtis

These beautiful garments are usually made from high-quality fabrics like dupioni or chiffon and feature intricate stitching and beadwork. Because they are so ornate, embroidered silk kurtas are perfect for special occasions like weddings or religious festivals. In modern usage, a short kurta is referred to as the kurti, which is the attire of females. However, traditionally, the term kurti refers to waist coats, jackets and blouses which sit above the waist without side slits, and are believed to have descended from the tunic of the Shunga period (2nd century B.C.). Kurtas are usually long, reaching to the calf, whereas Kurtis are usually short, which reaches to the waist or are hip length. Kurtas are often paired with pyjamas or churidars, whereas Kurtis are generally worn with jeans, palazzos or even patialas.
