She called Krishna and Dharma too. However it is said that Dharma gave her cloth.


Vaisampayana continued,--"When the attire of Draupadi was being thus dragged, the thought of Hari, (And she herself cried aloud, saying), 'O Govinda, O thou who dwellest in Dwaraka, O Krishna, O thou who art fond of cow-herdesses (of Vrindavana). O Kesava, seest thou not that the Kauravas are humiliating me. O Lord, O husband of Lakshmi, O Lord of Vraja (Vrindavana), O destroyer of all afflictions, O Janarddana, rescue me who am sinking in the Kaurava Ocean. O Krishna, O Krishna, O thou great yogin, thou soul of the universe, Thou creator of all things, O Govinda, save me who am distressed,--who am losing my senses in the midst of the Kurus.' Thus did that afflicted lady resplendent still in her beauty, O king covering her face cried aloud, thinking of Krishna, of Hari, of the lord of the three worlds. Hearing the words of Draupadi, Krishna was deeply moved. And leaving his seat, the benevolent one from compassion, arrived there on foot. And while Yajnaseni was crying aloud to Krishna, also called Vishnu and Hari and Nara for protection, the illustrious Dharma, remaining unseen, covered her with excellent clothes of many hues. And, O monarch as the attire of Draupadi was being dragged, after one was taken off, another of the same kind, appeared covering her. And thus did it continue till many clothes were seen. And, O exalted on, owing to the protection of Dharma, hundreds upon hundreds of robes of many hues came off Draupadi's person. Section LXVII, Shishupala-vadha Parva, Sabha Parva KMG Mahabharat.


It's also said that Vidura who was incarnation of Dharma and Yudhisthir who was the son of Dharma gave Draupadi the clothes.

No versions actually say so, but it is a folklore for long. According to it, during Shishupal Vadh, Krishna's fingers suffer a cut by the Sudarshan Chakra. Subhadra on seeing this rushes inside to get some cloth, Draupadi however simply tears a piece of cloth from her Sari and bandages the wound.

Krishna is pleased by it and promises her 100 saris for each thread in the cloth that she had tied.

He gives her the same when Dusshashan attempts the disrobe


Saying that I think the origin of this folklore is from the fact that Draupadi chants the name of Govind when Dusshashan tries to disrobe her and one by one Saris start appearing onto her due to her Dharma

People might have felt that since she was chanting Govind's name and got protected hence it should be God Krishna who helped her

She didn't call for Dharma Andy, she only called for Krishna, her Dharma saved her though
