The difference between a normal chudi top and a princess cut chudi, what you can choose, and which one to order.
A normal chudi top is a straight-cut or slightly tapered kurta, while a princess cut chudi is shaped by seams. Size Hub has a pattern for each, and this guide shows how they differ.
Normal chudi
The Normal Top Only Chudi is the basic chudithar: a straight-cut or slightly tapered kurta (top) that goes with well-fitted churidar pants that gather at the ankles for a pleated effect. It is a timeless, comfortable outfit. This pattern is for the top only, priced at ₹470, and it has 4.91 stars from 32 reviews. You can change the back neck and the front neck, 11 options each.

There is also an A Line Princess Cut Chudithar at ₹650, an A-line fish cut pattern.

Tips before you stitch a chudi
- Take the length and the sleeve measurements carefully, because a chudi top is worn for long hours.
- Press the seams as you stitch, especially the side seams of a princess cut chudi, so the shaping lies smooth.
- Decide the neck first, then the sleeve. The neck decides how much of the top is visible.
- Cut the bottom from your own measurements too, so the pleats at the ankle fall as you want.
