Ask ShaguftaKurti, kurta or tunic top?
In India a kurti usually means a shorter, fitted top and a kurta a longer, straighter one. Pakistani shops use both words, and American stores sell the same thing as a tunic top. Shagufta lists many pieces as Kurti / Kurta or Kurti / Top so you can find them whichever word you use. What matters more than the name is the length, and that is given in inches on the listing.
Cotton, viscose, silk and chikankari
The cotton kurtis are mostly self print with embroidery, a few with mirror or pearl work, and they are the ones for hot weather or the office. Self print means the pattern is printed in a shade close to the fabric, so it reads as texture from a distance. Viscose is soft and drapes well, and several viscose kurtis have sequin work across the front, dressy enough for a dawat. Chikankari is the delicate thread embroidery that comes from Lucknow in India, and there are viscose chikankari kurtis here too. Silk kurtas, including bright yellow ones for a haldi, and a few linen kurtis round out the section.
Short, mid-length and long
Lengths run from 31 inches for the peplum top to 47 inches for the long silk tunics, with most kurtis between 36 and 39 inches. As a rough guide on a woman of average height, 36 inches or less sits around the hip and pairs well with jeans, while 42 inches or more reaches toward the knee and looks best with slim pants or leggings. If hip length is what you want, the short kurtis page has them all in one place.
Sizes and ordering
Most kurtis are size M, with some S, L, XL and 2XL. Compare the chest, hips and length on the listing with a kurti that fits you, or follow the size guide. Tap Order on WhatsApp under the kurti you want, or put a few in your bag with a shalwar or palazzo from the trousers section and send them together in one message. Shagufta can send a video first if you want to see the fabric move.

Questions people ask
Is a kurti the same as a kurta?
They are close cousins. A kurti is usually a shorter, more fitted top, and a kurta is longer and looser, but many shops use the words for the same thing. Shagufta's kurtis and tops can be worn with jeans, trousers, shalwar or palazzo.
What can I wear a kurti with?
Everyday kurtis look good with jeans, straight pants, leggings, a shalwar or palazzo trousers. Add a dupatta to dress one up.
How do I check my size?
Lay a kameez or kurti that fits you flat, measure straight across the chest under the arms and across the hips, and double both numbers. Compare them, and the length from shoulder to hem, with the measurements on each listing.
What is the difference between a short kurti and a long kurti?
Length. Short kurtis here are 36 inches or less and sit around the hip, so they look neat with jeans. Long kurtis are 42 inches or more and fall toward the knee, which suits leggings, slim trousers or a shalwar.
Do the kurtis come with pants or a dupatta?
The kurtis are sold as the top on its own unless the listing says otherwise. Shalwars, cotton pants, palazzos and gharara pants to wear with them are in the trousers section, and dupattas have their own section.
Which kurti fabric is coolest in summer?
Cotton and linen breathe best in the heat. Viscose is soft, light and drapey and works in warm weather too. Silk is better kept for evenings and cooler days.
