Share
The Lapetawali drape (meaning “wrapped”) comes from the rural landscapes of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Worn by women working in fields or at home.
Products used:
This drape features:
•No petticoat or blouse, just the saree worn directly against the body
•Layers wrapped snugly for warmth and ease during daily work
•A pallu pulled over the shoulder and often used as a veil, or ghoonghat
Practical and deeply rooted in agrarian life, the Lapetawali drape reflects a time when clothing followed the flow of everyday labor.
