I'm not sure if people know what kurta means, so here I'm just going to explain exactly what it means.
Kurta is basically a loose fitting piece of clothing, a top. It is long whereby the longest could be down to your knees. The shortest could be up to your thighs and this style is usually called a kurti (kurti also refers to feminine kurta). Kurtas originated from South Asia, in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, India.
And according to Wikipedia,
Cultural India says:"Imported kurtas were fashionable in the 1960s and 1970s, as an element of hippie fashion, fell from favor briefly, and are now again fashionable. South Asian women may also wear this Western adaptation of South Asian fashion.
Formal kurtas are usually custom-made by South Asian tailors, who work with the fabric their customers bring them. South Asians overseas, and Westerners, can buy them at South Asian clothing stores or order them from web retailers."
"There is an amazing variety of kurtas available at retail outlets, differing in their quality and weaving style. During the summer season, kurtas made up of light silk and cotton are in demand. While for winters, people usually look for heavy fabrics such as wool, Khadi silk or may a handspun. Buttons used in the designing are mostly wooden or plastic. Unlike other pieces of cloth, the buttons are not sewn; rather they are fastened into the cloth as per desire. These days, you can find real beautiful buttons in the market. Some of these buttons are even adorned with jewels and thus are a bit expensive. Thus, kurta is one of the trendiest pieces of clothing in today's times that is well liked by almost all the people."
