Girls' Kurtas & Kurtis, Handmade

Start with the cut. A straight kurti hangs loose for everyday and school events; an anarkali flares from a fitted yoke and reads festive for stage and weddings; an A-line sits in between and suits most family functions. For fabric, breathable cotton and cotton-silk handle summer and Eid afternoons, while raw silk, art silk, and brocade carry weight for Diwali and reception photos. Watch the neckline and closures: a mandarin (Chinese) collar with a front placket or a keyhole back with a thread loop is easiest to get over a wiggly toddler's head. Check the bottom included with sets, since pairings differ. Many girls' kurtis come as a set with churidar, leggings, or palazzo pants, and some add a dupatta. Rough budgets: a plain cotton kurti runs $18-$35, a chikankari or printed style $30-$60, and an embroidered or mirror-work anarkali set $55-$120. In-stock prints often ship in 3-7 business days; made-to-measure or hand-embroidered pieces run 2-4 weeks.
