A cotton kurta slip is a lightweight inner layer worn under a kurta or suit to stop sheerness, reduce cling and add a soft breathable layer between fabric and skin. Every slip here is cut in fine cotton voile, made in Jaipur, and sized to sit invisibly under short and long kurtas alike.
If you have ever held a light coloured kurta up to the light and hesitated, this page is the answer. A slip for under a kurta does quietly what shapewear does loudly: it lets sheer and semi-sheer fabrics behave, keeps prints from shadowing, and makes white and pastel kurtas wearable at noon. Ours skip the polyester satin that traps heat cotton voile breathes through Indian summers and washes like any other cotton.
Wearing a dress instead? Our cotton slips for dresses cover that job. Pair your slip with kurtas from the main kurta collection, or read the full guide on what to wear under kurtas and dresses before you choose.
How to choose a kurta slip
Match three things: length, colour and neckline. The slip should end 3 to 5 centimetres above the kurta hem so it never peeks. For colour, beige and skin tones disappear under whites and pastels better than white does; white slips suit only opaque light kurtas. Necklines should sit lower than the kurta neckline in front and back. When in doubt between two sizes, take the closer fit a slip is meant to skim, not drape.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a kurta slip?
A kurta slip is a thin cotton inner layer worn under a kurta to prevent sheerness and cling. Unlike a camisole, it is cut long and straight so it stays invisible through side slits and light fabrics.
Do I need a slip under a cotton kurta?
Under white, pastel and light printed cotton kurtas, yes. Fine cotton turns semi-sheer in daylight; a skin tone slip keeps the kurta opaque without adding visible lines or warmth.
Which colour slip should I wear under a white kurta?
Beige or a skin tone slip, not white. A white slip shows its own outline under a white kurta, while a slip close to your skin tone disappears completely.
Cotton slip or satin slip, which is better for Indian weather?
Cotton. Satin and polyester slips trap heat and cling with static. Cotton voile absorbs sweat, stays cool at 40 degrees and washes with the rest of your laundry.
What length of slip do I need?
Pick a slip that ends 3 to 5 centimetres above your kurta hem. For knee length kurtas that is usually a 36 to 38 inch slip; longer kurtas and anarkalis need calf length.
