Tussar Cotton Churidar

The sheen and drape of tussar silk from Bhagalpur combined with the comfort and softness of mercerized cotton from Bhandara becomes a signature fabric which is suited for all occasions. This churidar style is characterized by the fitted gathering of extra fabric along the lower portion of the legs which loosens into a relaxed drawstring waist. Traditionally worn with a kurta or kameez which is a tunic-style top, churidars are a fantastic look with any length top.
