Ethnic wear should be comfortable as well as good-looking, and this kurti is both. Cut from cotton, it is easy to wear and easy to look after.

It is an everyday piece - comfortable enough for a working day, smart enough for lunch afterwards. Colour on your screen will not be an exact match for the fabric in your hand - dye lots and monitors both vary.

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.
