Draped garment

Any item of clothing made from a length of cloth wrapped, folded, pinned, or tied around the body

Buddha in draped clothing.

A draped garment (draped dress)[1] is a garment that is made of a single piece of cloth that is draped around the body; drapes are not cut away or stitched as in a tailored garment. Drapes can be held to the body by means of knotting, pinning, fibulae, clasps, sashes, belts, tying drawstrings, or just plain friction and gravity alone. Many draped garments consist of only one single piece.[2][3]

An advanced form of the garment is the tailored dress, which is constructed from fabric that has been cut into pieces and stitched together to fit various parts of the body. In comparison to draped dresses, they are more fitted to the body.[1]

## History[edit]

Draping is a most ancient and widespread form of clothing. Many visual arts of the Romans and Indian sculptures, terracottas, cave paintings, and wood carvings (also shown in picture gallery) representing men and women show the same, unstitched clothes with various wrapping and draping styles.

Uttariya, and Antariya are few evident clothing items of draped garments from the Vedic period. Kasaya, another rectangular piece of the Buddhist robe, is a real example of the draped garment. Further evolved forms are Sari, and Odhni, etc.[4][5][6][7][8]

The kāṣāya also called jiāshā (Chinese: 袈裟), Kasaya consists of three pieces i.e. the saṃghāti the most visible part of the buddhist attire. It was worn over the upper robe (uttarāsaṅga). Uttarāsaṅga is a robe covering the upper body[9] that comes over the undergarment, or antarvāsa. The antarvāsa is the inner robe covering the lower body. The latter are covered with saṃghāti.[10]

## Examples[edit]

More examples of draped clothing are:

* Uttariya an upper body garment.
* Adivasah is a loose-fitting outer garment, it is a type of over garment similar to a mantle or cloak

* togas a very long length of woolen fabric that Romans wrapped around themselves, draping it over the left shoulder and arm and leaving the right arm free.
* stolas long full robe with or without sleeves and drawn in with a belt; it was worn by Roman women, corresponding to the toga, that was worn by men. The stola was usually woollen.
