‘Lawn dresses’ selling fast amid Eid shopping

Islamabad: As Eid Al Fitr draws near, many fashion outlets and designer shops have witnessed a rush of women customers looking to purchase light-coloured, stitched ‘lawn suits’, which they say feel relaxed and cool.

A report aired by a private news channel said, as Eid is one of the biggest festivals of the year for Muslims and coming as it does in scorching hot summer, lawn dresses are the trend across the country.

In the past, many women have chosen to wear embroidered frocks and suits in chiffon and Georgette fabrics but this year, lawn dresses are trending on the market, according to Kauser Mushtaq, a 40-year-old buyer at a local famous brand shop, while purchasing a lawn kurta for her daughter.

Another customer Amna Ali said Eid Al Fitr is coming in the summer season and the atmosphere would be hot day after day. Ali said it would be wise to avoid heavy fabrics such as silk, chiffon and Georgette.

“You can make a choice of lawn and cotton dresses for Eid as it will be the best choice for this season,” she said.

A renowned designer Amina Yasmeen talking about her “Eid collection,” said it consists of the variety of formal dresses. Shirts are decorated with floral embroideries and patches at the bottom. The necklines are adorned with sleek embroidery, she said.
