The above is a fashion plate from 1881. The elongated waist and the double row of buttons - as well as the big bow on the bum- are all signs these dresses are at least a good ten years older than the seller believes. I'm not entirely sure these are for a little girl either - boys wore dresses for a very practical reason until they were potty trained.
Kurti & Leggings: This really is the approach to create the kurti would be to set them together with announcement attachments and leggings. My preference will be always to cut cotton kurta in colors using white leggings or muted colours or create khadi kurta. That is because cut appears the colors and good make it comfortable for wear. Once you choose encounters, it seems elegant should you style it using luggage that is ordered and announcement accessories.
