Aasma is a fitted sleeveless kurti in 100% cotton, printed with fine micro buta motifs in black across an ivory ground, small enough that the cloth reads as plain from across a room and as patterned close up. The neckline sits high and round, cut into a narrow shoulder that keeps the shape clean without straps, and a concealed zip runs down the back rather than the side. Panelled seams through the body give it the fitted line, and side slits at the hem keep it easy over trousers. The cotton has a slight slub texture and is breathable enough for real heat, which is the whole argument for a sleeveless kurti. Being ivory and unlined, it reads slightly sheer in strong light, so plan your underlayers. Individually tailored by hand and finished ready to wear. The narrow shoulder means a regular bra strap will show, so choose a racerback or strapless.
