Branded lawn craze started around two years back when various designers identified the need for trendy and extravagant dresses.  Unfortunately, what designers introduced as unique selling proposition grew into a monster that engulfed the affordable lawn suits which were a basic need of everyPakistani woman.

At that time, prices were set on a budget that was affordable;consumer, belonging to SEC B to C, was able to live with designer wear in one’s closet.  However, over the passage of time, this addictive trend of lawn exhibition has completely sabotaged the average Pakistani.

At first, it was just about the branded and non-branded lawn. Now it is also about the comparative and the superlative brands in the lawn category.According to ZaidAzam from Sara Textiles, the best quality lawn suit costs around 800 to 1000 rupees.

However, the market sells them after multiplying this digit by the whole number ten.

The additional price that we pay for the suits is due to the brilliant marketers lawn designers hire.
