The blouse was probably Britain's longest export to India that received immense indigenous appeal and became the part of tradition itself. With the introduction of Blouse, a standard of decency and public decorum was imposed. The traditional attire of the Western Part of India was lehenga-choli, and the Eastern part was sari. From the Mauryan to the Mughals, women either went topless or used only a piece of cloth, but there was nothing such as ‘blouse.'

In Bengal, during the Victorian Era, most women wore saris bare-breasted. It was Jnanadanandini Devi, wife of Satyendranath Tagore, who popularised blouse and the modern style of the sari in India.
