Why Unstitched Lawn Suits Are the Perfect Choice for Every Woman

She has been following this rule for 20 years. Never buy a stitched outfit unless you have seen it first on your body. She had to learn the hard way. A beautifully stitched piece looked great on the model, but was a disaster on her. She has never been disappointed by unstitched grass again. Once you know why, it is hard to go back.

Quick Answer

You can control one thing that stitched lawn suits cannot: the fit. Unstitched lawn suits let you choose your neckline, sleeve, shirt, and trousers or shalwar styles to suit your body type and taste. Lawn is also breathable, lightweight and comfortable to wear every day.

Stitched suits can't fix the fit problem

Standard sizing can only average the different combinations of height, shoulders, waist, and bust. Unstitched suits avoid the average entirely. Your tailor or you decide:

  • Shirt Length -- Knee-length or shorter depending on your height and the occasion
  • Sleeve Style -- Full sleeves, Three-quarters, Cuffed, or Bell -- Not locked into what the design house selected
  • Adjust the neckline and shape of the daman to fit your piece.
  • Straight pants or cigarette trousers -- all cut from the same fabric base.

Unstitched lawn is still popular even though ready-to wear has become more popular. It solves a structural problem that ready-towear cannot.

Why lawn, and not only "unstitched?"

The unstitched fabric is available in a variety of options. But lawn has a reputation that's earned by its ability to breathe. This is not just a comfort feature, it's a major factor in Pakistan's climate. It's the difference between wearing a suit all day, including errands and work, or a suit that you have to peel off by 2pm. It is a fabric that breathes well and can be embroidered, printed, or dyed without losing its breathability. This is why lawn remains a popular choice for semi-formal clothing, even though heavier fabrics are more common during wedding season.

No one has ever stated the cost argument clearly

Unstitched pieces are almost always cheaper than their stitched counterparts in the same design. This is because you only pay for fabric, embroidery and your own labor, and not for other people's decisions about fabric cutting and labor. You can also order the exact tailoring that you need -- a more tailored silhouette, an extra length, or a specific sleeve. All without having to pay a premium for "custom," which a stitched label would charge as a separate add-on.

When buying unstitched pieces, what to look for

  • Embroidery Placement Described Clearly -- Front, Daman, Sleeves, and Border should be each specified, and not lumped together into a vague description "embellished".
  • Fabric composition should be named outright -- lawn should not be hidden behind "premium fabrics" language.
  • The length of the garment should be sufficient to fit your design. Do not wait until your tailor tells that it is too short.

The Mahgul Collection is based on this concept. Signature lawns are available in both stitched or unstitched versions, so that you can select the route best suited to your needs. Each piece includes full embroidery details.

The FAQ

Does unstitched material require more effort than buying ready-to wear? 

Yes, it does. But that extra step - a tailor - is what gives you the fit that ready-towear cannot. For this reason, most women who choose unstitched fabric keep their regular tailor. After the first order, the extra step is no longer a hassle.

What is the fabric quantity for a complete unstitched suit?

 It depends on what you want to create. A longer shirt, or a trouser with more fullness will require more meterage. Before ordering, check the fabric quantity listed for the shirt, trousers, and dupatta. Share your intended design with your tailored so that they can confirm if it is enough.

Does lawn suiting only work for summer?

 Lawn suits are breathable and can be worn year round in many climates.

Are unstitched suits cheaper than stitched suits from the same collection in general?

 In most cases, yes. You don't pay for the stitching labor included in the price and can direct the tailoring costs to the exact fit and style that you desire instead.
