Kurti Type: Sambalpuri Cotton Kurti

Fabric: Handloom Cotton

Color Palette: The kurti has a dominant color combination of deep navy blue, bright red, and white. There are also hints of violet/purple.

Design and Pattern:

 * Body: The main body of the kurti is a rich navy blue. The fabric features a traditional Ikat pattern with vertical, thin, white and light blue stripes that have a slightly blurred or feathered edge, characteristic of the Ikat weaving technique.

 * Sleeves: The sleeves are a solid, vibrant red. The cuffs are a solid navy blue, providing a nice contrast.

 * Central Panel (Placket): A striking, wide vertical panel runs down the center front of the kurti. This panel is the focal point and showcases a more intricate and multicolored Ikat design.

   * The design within this panel is divided into repeating rectangular blocks.

   * Each block features a combination of:

     * A checked or checkered pattern in red and white.

     * A distinct, handwoven motif, possibly representing a house or temple structure, in blue with a purple roof. These motifs are spaced out and separated by the checkered pattern.

 * Neckline: The neckline appears to be a simple, round or scoop neck. The neck and shoulders are a combination of the red and blue fabrics.

Weaving Technique: The entire kurti is made using the traditional Ikat technique, where the yarns are tie-dyed before weaving to create the characteristic blurred or feathered patterns.

Style and Fit: The kurti has a straight, knee-length cut. The fit appears to be loose and comfortable, typical of traditional kurtis. The sleeves are three-quarter length.

Overall Impression: This is a beautiful example of a modern kurti incorporating traditional Sambalpuri handloom art. The vibrant colors and bold central Ikat panel create a visually appealing and unique garment. It is a perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary style, suitable for casual or festive wear.
