The other day I was looking into my wardrobe and
what I found was that the majority of my staples were some or the other form of
kurtis or tunics. I have all, casual kurtis, festival kurtis, office wear and everything else. My wardrobe
encompasses traditional as well as western tunics. And seeing this I was
amazed, this much have I been adorning kurtis. Then a thought crossed through
my mind, that if it is the case with me than with many other girls. And then
what, it just made me thing harder, research and write up this blog. My
research mainly concluded with the facts that how kurtis came into existence
and what new can be done now.
Needless to say, tunics or kurti as we call it, has
become an integral part of our daily life. Almost all women wear it and many of
them have kurti as their daily attire. But from where did it emerge? Have we
ever paid any heed to this? Worry not; I am here for telling you all about
kurtis including the new style with the old staples.
This ever challenged and changed attire holds its
origin from the Mughal Empire. Originally, the men and women wore it. Their style
of wearing it was baggy and embellished. Over the time, the kurtis have
transformed drastically. And its manifestation is seen in anarkali kurtis,
A-line kurtis, flared kurtis, indo-western kurtis, short kurtis, and many more.
Earlier I believed it’s us who embraced staples, but
seeing this enormity of kurtis, my views have changed entirely. It’s actually
the kurtis and other staples like this which are embracing us, humans in its
garb.
You must be having many kurtis that belong from your
old days. Now without much wait, you should alter those kurtis and make them
ones that perfectly blend with the style of present time. To help and assist
you, I have listed the ways through which your old clothes can take a new and
refreshed form. Here it goes-

The
Old Anarkali Suit:

Not much time before, but I guess a
decade ago, all of us were crazy after the anarkali suits that were long and
had wide round. Now is the time that you take that anarkali suit out from the
corner of your wardrobe and change it for the best. You can make a high-low,
trail cut and C-cut kurti out of your anarkali suit. Enrich your new dress with
beautiful embellishments or any sort of embroidery that suits to your new kurti
best. I am pretty sure that your new dress will look astounding and you can use
it as one of your festival kurtis as
well.

Use
the Georgette Kurti Best:

Georgette has been a fabric that
has been used since decades. If you have some georgette kurtis of your old
times and you don’t wear it just because it is out-of-fashion now. You don’t
have to worry much now. The alternative for your georgette is just here. You
can use it in a shirt cum kurti. Basically, all you need to do is get a rich
fabric that suits the fabric and print of your existing one. Then just choose a
good designer and ask him to make you a shirt-cum-kurti like the one that is
displayed in the picture. You can wear this kurti at parties and even casually.
When you will move on, wearing this kurti, you are certain to grab many
compliments.

A
long Kurti into a Shorter One:

All of us have had and
still have long kurtis, the ones that are below our knees. Now just cut it
short and make it a short kurti. I know you must have heard about this
alternative earlier as well. But the change that I am suggesting is, keep the
kurti a really short one that is just below your humps. Make sure that you have
enriched it with aesthetic embroidery like sequins work and thread work. You
can wear this kurti anywhere, be it a party you are heading for or at your
work. This tunic will suit for all occasions. A glimpse of this tunic is here.

The
Beautiful One Piece:

You must have kurtis that you like, but
don’t wear it some reasons. You don’t have to keep that aesthetic staple for
the bin but use it for something that is awe-inspiring. Make a one piece from a
kurti that you like the most. All you need to do is that get another fabric
that compliments your tunic’s fabric. Ask your designer to cut short the kurti
to a length with which you are comfortable and can wear. Use the other fabric
as a shrug or even a jacket will do fine. You will come out as a beautiful,
confident lady since you are wearing a cloth that you like the most.
These were some of the alternatives available for
you to use your old tunics and have a refreshed style. Your new silhouettes
will work as festival kurtis, work
kurtis, party wear kurtis and many more. Also you can use the ladies semi stitched suits and make
something good out of it.
