There was a time in Sri Lanka where choice of fashion was definitely a luxury. Under the extreme socialist approaches taken by the great World's First Female Head of State (which we are all so proud of) you couldn't consume anything as much as you wanted. Food and other essentials was rationed so was clothing! Imagine the entire country having to stitch their dress with the same material!!? (And you complain that the stuff at ODEL are too common) :p
