Stitching tips

Getting the most from Asim Jofa

  • i.

    Before you cut

    Silks such as crepe and katan need lining and a lighter press; tell us the exact fabric from the label.

  • ii.

    Pieces and pairing

    Arabic and Swiss lawn are finer than standard lawn; we use a narrower seam finish.

  • iii.

    Finishing

    For daily wear we keep designer prints to simple cuts so the fabric does the talking.

  • iv.

    What to send us

    Photos of every piece in daylight, the label or listing showing the lengths, your measurements (or a kameez that fits), and screenshots of styles you like.

FAQ

Asim Jofa stitching questions

Can you stitch a Asim Jofa unstitched suit?

Yes, through our Stitching Only service, for customers in the UK, the USA and Europe. Send photos of the Asim Jofa pack and its label with the style you want, and we confirm the fabric is suitable and enough for your design and send a written quote. Once it is confirmed, you post the suit to us in Pakistan, and we stitch it to your measurements and ship the finished outfit to you.

Does it matter where I bought my Asim Jofa suit?

No. A Asim Jofa pack bought in the UK, the USA, Europe or Pakistan is stitched in exactly the same way. Wherever you are, ask us before you send it: we confirm the fabric and the sending arrangements first, because the suit travels to us in Pakistan and the finished outfit is then shipped to you.

How do I tell if a Asim Jofa product is unstitched?

Products are named with a code, finish, fabric and piece count, for example “Embroidered Lawn Unstitched 3 Pcs” or “Printed Crepe Silk Unstitched 3 Pcs”.

Which Asim Jofa fabrics can you stitch?

All of the fabrics in the range, subject to a check that yours suits the design you want. Asim Jofa’s unstitched range includes lawn, slub lawn, arabic lawn, swiss lawn, cambric, crepe silk, katan silk, raw silk, chiffon and organza; each needs a slightly different cut, seam finish or lining, and we confirm it before you send the suit.

Is The Gilded Seam connected to Asim Jofa?

No. The Gilded Seam is independent: we make made-to-measure women’s clothing in Pakistan for customers in the UK, the USA and Europe. We name Asim Jofa only because customers send us their unstitched suits to be stitched; we do not sell Asim Jofa products.
