This page is for makers listing a kurti on JADUZ, and for the AI assistant helping them. It covers only what is special to kurtis. The name formula, the honest-claims rules and the reply format are on the main JADUZ listing guide, so read that first.
What to measure and how to state it
The editor has a size chart with four measurements for each size: chest, shoulder, sleeve and length. Fill it for every size you offer. A size label alone tells a buyer little, because an M or a 38 means different things from maker to maker.
- Chest: lay the kurti flat and measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other, then double it. Write it as "Chest 38 in (97 cm)".
- Shoulder: from one shoulder seam to the other, across the back.
- Sleeve: from the shoulder seam to the cuff. Say whether the sleeve is full, three-quarter, short or sleeveless.
- Length: from the highest point of the shoulder, beside the neckline, straight down to the hem, for example "Length 40 in (102 cm)". Say where that usually falls: hip, mid-thigh, knee or below.
If you sell a free size, still give the measurements of that one piece. In the description, add the cut (straight, A-line, flared, fitted), the side slits and their length, and the neck depth if it is deep. Weight rarely matters for a kurti, so skip it unless the work makes it heavy.
Materials and techniques to name
Pick the fabric in the editor (cotton, tant, khadi, muslin, linen, silk, half silk, georgette, viscose and others) and repeat it in the description. If you are not sure what a fabric is, ask your supplier rather than guess.
Name the handwork plainly and say which parts are done by hand: hand embroidery, kantha stitch, karchupi, appliqué, hand block print, screen print, tie-dye or hand painting. If the seams are machine stitched and the embroidery is by hand, say exactly that. Mention the lining, the buttons or hooks, any pockets, and whether a matching dupatta or trousers come with it. Call the dye natural only if you know it is.
Care
Write the care you would give it yourself. For most cotton and tant kurtis: hand wash in cold water, wash dark colours separately the first few times, dry in the shade and iron on the reverse over embroidery. Silk, katan and heavily worked pieces are safer dry cleaned. If the colour bleeds in the first wash, say so. A buyer forgives a warning, not a surprise.

Questions buyers ask
Answer these in the description or the FAQ:
- Which size should I pick? Point to the size chart and say whether the kurti runs close to the chest measurement or loose.
- Is the fabric see-through? Say whether a light colour needs a slip underneath.
- Will the colour run in the wash?
- Does it come with a dupatta or trousers?
- Is the embroidery by hand or by machine?
- Can it be altered or made to measure? Say yes only if you will do it.
Words to avoid
Leave out "best quality", "premium" and "100% original" with nothing to back them, "only 2 left" or "selling fast" unless your stock really shows it, discounts you never charged, ALL CAPS and emojis. Do not write pure silk or pure cotton unless you know the fabric is exactly that, and do not promise "fits everyone". Give the measurements and let the buyer decide.
