The kind of kurti that gets worn twice a season rather than once a decade. Cotton, chosen because it behaves: it drapes cleanly and does not cling.

It moves between everyday wear and occasions without needing much thought. What you see photographed is the item you receive, but fabric always looks slightly different in daylight.

Care is the usual: dry-clean anything with zari or dense embroidery, hand-wash cottons and rayons in cold water, and dry in shade rather than direct sun.
