A girl shared on Twitter how the prices of designer clothes are getting way out of hands for no reason. She also tried comparing Pakistani designers to Indian designers:

And the internet had her schooled on what the actual prices were for the designer wear:
I doubt if it's 3- 4 lak anymore. This is barely the cost of formal wear now. And I mean 'barely'. https://t.co/6uy1rN6Czy

Some wondered what designers she was talking about:
Who are these lovely designers charging 3-4 lakhs Most Designer wedding dresses are 8 lakh & up Plus Indian designers are 20 & up

Tell me as well please , Bunto Kazmi starts at 10… HSY the same range , the 3-4 lakhs are not designers , they are normal “Kaam walay” who make replicas …

Many shared how finding bridals under 100k is close to impossible:
You can not get a decent bridal dress in less than 1 lac rupees.
Add up gold, other stuff, wedding dinners etc.
Wedding is more of a burden now. https://t.co/wYnVen7BlR— Sαmαη (@saman305) November 19, 2019
Some suggested that smaller designers be given a chance!
*Boycott Expensive Bridal Dresses*
Give chance to small designers, who make perfect dresses is very less amount. You wear that dress only time in life, why spending 4 lacs on a dress just to look special while you are already special for everyone that day because its ur wedding! https://t.co/8gzTquVUux— Ali Qasim (@aliqasim) November 19, 2019
People should boycott these unnecessarily expensive designers and have faith in their local Tailor https://t.co/rmHhgSH4Ui

Many pointed out how the currency in India was better:
Indian rupee is better than the Pakistani rupee. Also there are varieties of Indian and Pakistani designers. The budget ones are there as well as the real pricey ones. https://t.co/u3xfgP9iL5

Many shared how this amount was still affordable:

In khi, 3-4 lakhs is still 'reasonable'. Crazy race here.

Some agreed with her:
I agree. I asked for an estimate from an Indian designer and they were charging less than what Pakistani quoted@me

Some wanted to know if these designers even pay their taxes:
Serious question.. how much tax do these designers pay on their earnings.. is their a way to gauge their earnings? Do they come in the net? https://t.co/gh1synIAA7
