What is an Anarkali kurti? How is it different from a straight-cut kurti?

Anarkali kurti is a long, flared garment with a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt-like bottom that fans out from the waist or hips — inspired by Mughal-era court dress. It ranges from knee-length to floor-length.

Straight-cut kurti has a uniform width from chest to hem — no flare, no tapering. It is a modern, casual silhouette typically paired with pants, leggings, or jeans.
