The kurti is a full-length, A-line or flared dress (often called a 'frock style' kurti or gown) made from Sambalpuri Ikat cotton fabric. The primary colors are a soft grey and a vibrant yellow with black accents.

Body of the Kurti:

The main body of the kurti is made from a light grey Sambalpuri Ikat fabric. The design is a fine, vertical Ikat weave, creating a subtle texture and pattern. The fabric has a slight sheen, which is characteristic of some cotton weaves, giving it an elegant look. The kurti has short sleeves and a rounded neckline.

Front Panel/Yoke:

The most striking feature is the central front panel, which runs from the neckline to the hem. This panel is made of a different Sambalpuri Ikat fabric with a bold, checkered pattern. The checks are in a bright mustard yellow and black, arranged in a grid. This panel is framed by a narrow, black border with intricate golden or metallic thread work, which adds a touch of traditional embellishment and separates it from the grey fabric.

Hemline:

The kurti has a wide, solid black border at the very bottom, which provides a strong, contrasting finish and helps the flared silhouette hold its shape.

Styling and Design Details:

The kurti has a pleated or gathered waistline, giving the skirt a very full, voluminous, and flowing look. The design combines the traditional handloom art of Sambalpuri Ikat with a modern, western-inspired silhouette (the gown/frock style). The contrast between the subtle grey body and the bold yellow and black checkered panel is a key design element.
