Best kurtis to choose:

• A-line kurtis

• Anarkali kurtis

• Flared kurtis

• Empire-waist kurtis

These styles balance the lower body and create a graceful flow.

(Broader upper body, fuller midsection)

Best kurtis to choose:

• Straight-cut kurtis

• Empire-waist kurtis

• V-neck and U-neck kurtis

They create a lengthening effect and shift focus away from the midsection.

Avoid:
Short-length kurtis and bulky waist details.

Best kurtis to choose:

• Tailored straight kurtis

Very plain, straight kurtis with no structure.
