Evidence from the 1st century AD shows some cultural exchanges with the Greeks. Indo-Greek influence is seen in the Greco-Buddhist art of the time. The Buddhas were portrayed as wearing the Greek himation, which is the forerunner of the modern saṃghāti that forms a part of the Kasaya of Buddhist monks.During the Maurya and Gupta period, the people continued to wear the three piece unstitched clothing as in Vedic times. The main items of clothing were the Antariya made of white cotton or muslin, tied to the waist by a sash called Kayabandh and a scarf called the Uttariya used to drape the top half of the body.

Here we will discuss the re-modification of frock which was the culture of Mughilia Season (Mughal Dress Culture). The frock fashion was very common and most wearable dress in Pakistan and India, and yet is adopting as latest fashion for parties and functions. But these dresses which I am going to discuss with you is these modern and fancy frocks which is only wear like in India. These frocks are small in length, Fitted (according to the body) and have beautiful embroidery and fancy work in dresses. These dresses may common in India but in Pakistan and Bangladesh there are some religious barrier to adopt these modern look of Frock. Frocks are always uncompleted without Churi-Pajama, that's why these dresses have sparkling / shining look of churidar-pajama. The designer designed these short frock dresses especially for parties / night parties.

The Buddha, in Greco-Buddhist style, 1st–2nd century CE, Gandhara(Modern eastern Afghanistan).

"The Indians use linen clothing, as says Nearchus, made from the flax taken from the trees, about which I have already spoken. And this flax is either whiter in colour than any other flax, or the people being black make the flax appear whiter. They have a linen frock reaching down halfway between the knee and the ankle, and a garment which is partly thrown round the shoulders and partly rolled round the head. The Indians who are very well-off wear earrings of ivory; for they do not all wear them. Nearchus says that the Indians dye their beards various colours; some that they may appear white as the whitest, others dark blue; others have them red, others purple, and others green. Those who are of any rank have umbrellas held over them in the summer. They wear shoes of white leather, elaborately worked, and the soles of their shoes are many-coloured and raised high, in order that they may appear taller.
