The straight cut traditional kurta consists of rectangular fabric pieces with perhaps a few inserts, and is cut so as to leave no wasted fabric. The cut is usually simple, although decorative treatments can be elaborate.
The sleeves of a traditional kurta fall straight to the wrist; they do not narrow, as do many Western-cut sleeves. Sleeves are not cuffed, just hemmed and decorated.
The front and back pieces of a simple kurta are also rectangular. The side seams are left open for 6-12 inches above the hem, which gives the wearer some ease of movement.
The kurta usually opens in the front and the front opening is often a hemmed slit in the fabric, buttoned at the top. The traditional straight cut kurta does not have a collar but modern versions do.
The use of side slits in the straight cut kurta can be traced to the 11th century.
