adjective more draped · most draped

  1. Covered by or clothed in cloth that drapes loosely around the object or body. The Venus Victrix is more draped than we expected from the subject, for the Princess Borghèse lay for it, as all the scandalous Chronicles have repeated a dozen times, in a state of nudity— certainly not consistent with the notions of female decency entertained in our climate.
  2. Having curtains or drapery (often of a specified type) And for the newly mobilized, vacationing multitudes after the Second World War, there were the "Colonial" pilgrimages, which allowed lowly folk to step inside the very draped and chandeliered rooms where our Betters had lived out their Elegant and Traditional Colonial Lives.
  3. of clothing Loosely fitted, with softly hanging fabric. Double-breasted coats, swagger coats, bias, very draped, and very pleated skirts require more cloth than straight cuts and hence cost more.
  4. broadly Hanging loosely. They lay side by side, limbs draped, energy exhausted.
  5. figuratively surrounding or surrounded. Her energy is very draped. She is covering and caring for many that she loves and supports. The draping will extend as she moves forward on her path.
