Summers in Pakistan are extremely hot! And when I say hot, I mean it feels like the Earth is on fire. It's very hard to step out into the blazing South-east Asian sun and wearing really insulating clothes won't make that any easier.
However, us South-east Asian women have really taken a liking to lawn fabric. Lawn cloth is a plain weave textile mainly of cotton. It is designed using fine, high cotton yarns which results in a silky, untextured feel. Lawn is a lightweight sheer cloth and it is known for it's semi-transparency. In plain words, you don't feel as hot in lawn fabric as you would in pure cotton or linen.
Embroidered lawn is all the rage these days. From Khaadi to Gul Ahmed, everyone is putting out embroidered lawn these days.
Here are some pictures from the leading Pakistani designers to give you an intake on just how pretty embroidered lawn can be.

Al Karam ROCKS! I know Gul Ahmed gets more publicity, but I bought Al Karam and just prefer the colors more. I was disappointed to see Asim Jofa lawn...it's just too OTT tacky and inappropriate somehow. Do check out my blogs, too: starlightshimmer.blogspot.com
