Raw silk yellow sleeveless kurti

I love this kurti. It is minimalist yet suitable for a formal occasion. There is an interesting incident to how this kurti came to be. The magenta pink neck detail shown in the photos, was part of an elaborate anarkali dress material; the semi stitched variety. There were too many elements on that dress. So, we removed this feature (as it was superfluous) for a future project. When my friend / customer went shopping for dress materials for kurtis, she picked up this bright yellow raw silk (not pure silk) and wanted the pink detail on it.  
The neck depth in front and the slit were determined by the feature.

Materials:
Raw silk - 1.5 m
Neck detail / yoke - from a previous dress

Front neck high with a slit in front
Back neck low
Sleeveless

If you happen to have any embroidered pieces or attractive prints, do not throw them out. they can be added on to other dresses.
