Kurtas or their shorter version, kurtis can date their lineage to the humble salwar kameez which is a three piece attire worn basically in the south-east Asian countries. A completes set of salwar kameez includes a top known as kameez which is worn over the bottom-wear known as a salwar. A dupatta is cotton or a silk stole, which was basically meant for the purpose of covering the head. Eventually it was rendered merely as a style accessory. Now, over the period of time this modest and humble piece of fashion has gone through a large style overhaul, all courtesy to the style divas of Bollywood in the era of sixties and the seventies. On-screen beauties like Hema Malini, Asha Parekh, and Mumtaz wore fitted kameez with stylish churidars for the first time, losing the dupatta as the necessity. It wasn't long when this became the trendsetting style in Indian Fashion world, which paved the way for the evolution of kurtas, and subsequently the kurtis. All that was required was, moving the hemline of the kameez up.
The national popularity of this ultra comfortable yet chic dressing got an impetus when some of the Bollywood actresses started wearing it both on-screen as well as off-screen.
