How ordering works
How Long Does Stitching Take? 5 to 7 Working Days, Plus Shipping
Quick answer
We make your outfit in 5 to 7 working days. That is production time only: cutting, stitching, finishing and checking. It starts once your quote is approved and paid in full, and with Stitching Only, once your fabric has reached us. Shipping to your address comes after that and depends on where you live.
When the 5 to 7 working days start
The clock starts when three things are in place: the design and measurements are agreed, you have approved your written quote, and your full payment has reached us. With Stitching Only there is a fourth: your fabric has to arrive with us in Pakistan, so the days start counting from then.
Working days are Monday to Friday, so a weekend or a public holiday in Pakistan is not counted.
What is not included
- The time before you approve: sending your design, agreeing the details and checking measurements. The quicker questions are answered, the sooner we can start.
- Posting your fabric: with Stitching Only, the journey from you to us is separate.
- Shipping to you: courier time depends on your country and the service, and it comes after the 5 to 7 working days. Our page on processing and worldwide delivery explains it.
Busy seasons
Tailors across Pakistan get very busy before Eid, and news reports describe tailors closing bookings well before Eid ul-Fitr (Dawn, March 2026). Wedding season in the cooler months is busy too. If your date falls in one of those periods, start early and tell us the date; our Eid planning guide walks through it.
Planning backwards from a date
Work back from the day you need the outfit: shipping time to you, then 5 to 7 working days to make, then a few days to agree the details and pay, and for Stitching Only, the time it takes your fabric to reach us. Put your date on the quote form and we will tell you honestly whether it looks realistic before you pay.
Common questions
Is shipping included in the 5 to 7 working days?
No. The 5 to 7 working days cover making your outfit. Shipping time comes after that and depends on your country and the courier service. Delivery is a flat £30 per item, already in your quote.
Can you guarantee my outfit arrives before Eid?
We don’t guarantee delivery dates, because courier times are outside our control. Tell us your date when you ask for a quote, and start early.
Does sending my own fabric add time?
Yes. With Stitching Only the 5 to 7 working days start when your fabric arrives, so its journey to us comes first. With Fabric + Stitching there is nothing to send.
