The kurta is likely to have been inspired by the kurtaka, a type of tunic traditionally worn in Central Asia that may have made its way to India through the Mughals. 
 
We imagine the “panel-kurta” from the Mughal Oudh Court, characterized by a square armhole into a modern-day slip dress. We accessorized it with a camouflaging corset belt. 
 
We can make this silhouette with your textile.
