Product Details
Standard salwars and kurtis require raised arms and overhead movement to put on. After shoulder, breast, or upper body surgery, these movements are restricted or painful for 4-6 weeks. This front-open velcro kurti wraps closed from the front without any overhead pulling, any arm raising, or any button management. The full-length velcro runs from collar to hem and closes in seconds.
Designed as a velcro kurti for women recovering from surgery and for elderly women who need easier dressing, this kurti looks like regular ethnic wear. Fully machine washable, available in everyday colors, and comfortable enough to wear to physiotherapy visits or hospital outpatient appointments.
Who needs a velcro kurti?
- Women after shoulder replacement, rotator cuff surgery, or mastectomy
- Patients after breast reconstruction or lumpectomy with restricted arm movement
- Women after stroke or with Parkinson's who cannot manage button closures
- Elderly women with arthritis, frozen shoulder, or limited finger strength
- Patients wearing a sling after fractures or shoulder injuries
- Wheelchair users and bedridden patients who need caregiver-assisted dressing

- Full-length front velcro closure from collar to hem: no overhead movement needed
- Sling friendly design: can be put on even with one arm in a sling

- Relaxed A-line cut: comfortable over bandages, drains, or compression garments

Washed maybe twenty times. Velcro is still strong, seams intact, minimal fading. Good value at the discounted price.

Kurti is good and the velcro works well. The green is slightly duller than the website photo. She likes it, I was just expecting brighter.

Soft and comfortable for daily wear

Bought two, one for her and one for my aunt who has similar mobility issues. Both happy.

She is 90 and very particular about fabric. Approved on day one, which for her is unheard of.

Velcro instead of buttons. That single change has transformed her mornings. She dresses herself now.

nice one

perfect for bedridden patients

Bought two. Cotton is genuinely breathable which matters in Chennai. She sits in it all day and does not complain of heat.
-
Parkinson's patient. Tremors make small fastenings impossible. Velcro she manages. This gave her back a piece of her independence.
-
Velcro is soft and does not catch on her skin. She bruises easily so that mattered.

Dementia. She gets agitated when dressing takes long. This is fast. Calmer mornings for everyone.
-
Good kurti and it works well. The yellow does show stains more than the darker options. Worth considering if that is a concern.

The pockets are the underrated part. She keeps her phone and her tablets in them and has stopped calling me every ten minutes to fetch things.

Velcro is soft and does not catch on her skin. She bruises easily so this was a real worry.
-
After her shoulder surgery she was not allowed to lift her arms for six weeks. Every nighty we owned went over the head. This one saved us.
Response from Aasra
This means a lot. Thank you for choosing Aasra.

Very useful for arthritis patients
-
Right side weak after her stroke. Velcro she manages one handed. Buttons she never could. It is that simple.
-
She wore this to a family function and told everyone about it afterwards, she was so pleased nobody could tell.
-
She had stopped leaving the house because she needed help dressing and found it humiliating. This solved a psychological problem more than a practical one.
-
Fourth purchase from this brand. Consistent across nighties and kurtis both.
-
Good kurti. Length is short for her taste, she prefers below the knee. Preference, not a fault.
Response from Aasra
Really happy to hear this. More colours are coming later this year.

Good kurti, works well. The yellow shows stains more than the darker options. Worth considering.

Struggling to pull a kurti overhead after cardiac surgery. Feeling like a patient in a hospital gown.
Open the front, put arms in, button up. Done. Look like yourself, not a patient.
