Ancient Indian Costume c7.8

c7.8

As mentioned earlier, there was no uniformity in this period and the dress of the people too varied with each region. The ordinary dress consisted as usual of an *antariya, uttariya* and *kayabandh,* with a turban for men. With the advent of the Kushans this was extended, and the fashion of wearing sewn garments of central Asiatic pattern seems to have made headway with all classes of Indians in north India. The cut-and-sewn garments which are rarely visible in the sculptures of the previous periods are more commonly found in this period.
