designer lawn suits : Is it just me or ...

I like Bareeze’s summer stuff too. It’s not lawn though and it’s not what is called ‘Linen’ in Pakistan but it more like the cotton linen we get here in England. It’s thicker than lawn but breathable and not clingy and looks so much better than lawn. Doesn’t crease much either.

Anyway, I’m really glad I live here, lol. Our summer’s don’t justify buying lawn, I’m fine with regular cotton suits.

Oh I also wanted to ask, does anyone else do this:
I’ve been in Pak for a few summers and I got really annoyed that most lawns were 3 piece. So I would choose prints where the duputta would look right as a kameez too. I’d then make 2 kameez’s to go with the shalwar with different designing and have one chiffon duputta (I don’t like lawn duputta’s anyway) to go with both.

I like Bareeze too…there was a time when I wore nothing else..courtesy of Ammi who couldn’t be bothered to shop elsewhere.Their cotton suits are lovely and I still have a couple from a few years back which I am still wearing.

Must say last time I was in Karachi…around four years ago…the salvars were very thin.The shop keepers just said that is the demand.So I had to buy cotton ones to go with the suits and ended up making shameeze from the salvar material.
And yes,I do the same with three piece suits too..only I use the salvar fabric..really don’t like printed salvars.

I was having palpitations anyway at the cost of kapra in Pakistan…but the price of lawn just is unbelievable
