When Narada asks Krishna, which of his sisters - Subhadra or Draupadi – loved him more, Krishna makes a plan to find out :

Both sisters are told that Krishna has cut his finger. Subhadra tells him that she is wearing an expensive Paithani and she can’t cut it to give Krishna a bandage. When Draupadi hears of his injury, she immediately tears her precious Pitambar saree and offers Krishna a bandage, saying that Krishna had protected her by covering her with a Pitambar saree (during Vastraharan) so there was no way she would give him a rag… The circle is complete when she offers him a piece of the Pitambar saree she is wearing. 

Krishna is wearing Mardana Pitambar and Draupadi is wearing Janana Pitambar.
