The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Geelong · Australia

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Geelong

Geelong sits on Corio Bay, an hour or so from Melbourne, and is the gateway to the Surf Coast and the Great Ocean Road. Finding someone local who stitches a shalwar kameez the way you like can still mean driving into Melbourne. The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and couriers it to your Geelong address instead.

  • Minimum order: one suit

Local notes

Ordering from Geelong

Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Australia: ordering from Australia.

Cool bay winds and mild summers

Geelong shares much of Melbourne’s changeable weather, and the wind off the bay can make a mild day feel cool. A kameez in cambric or linen with three-quarter or full sleeves covers most of the year, and in winter a lined khaddar or karandi kameez is far more comfortable. Save lawn for the warmest summer weeks.

If you study at Deakin, on the Waterfront or at Waurn Ponds, a knee-length kurta with straight trousers is practical, and a co-ord with wide-leg trousers is relaxed enough for every day.

Choose your fabric route

With Fabric + Stitching, we source the fabric in Pakistan and show you photos and descriptions with your quote, so nothing has to leave Geelong. With Stitching Only, you send your own unstitched suit after we have confirmed it from photos, and the outfit returns in a separate delivery.

Either way, enter your measurements on the quote form in centimetres or inches, and the design is agreed in writing before cutting.

Two ways to order

Our fabric, or yours

Both are made to your measurements in Pakistan. The minimum order is one suit, and we don’t offer free samples.

  • Fabric + Stitching

    We supply the agreed fabric and make your outfit to your measurements. One parcel: the finished outfit shipped to you.

    • Fabric agreed with you before cutting
    • Minimum order one suit
    • No need to send anything
  • Stitching Only

    You supply suitable fabric, such as an unstitched suit, and we cut, stitch and finish it.

    • Two shipping stages: your fabric to us in Pakistan, then the outfit to you
    • Confirm suitability and quantity before sending
    • Minimum order one suit
Can I order a co-ord in one fabric throughout?

Yes. A co-ord is usually made in a single fabric for both pieces, though you can ask for a contrast trouser if you prefer.

Is there anything to pay on delivery to Geelong?

No. Delivery and any import duties, taxes and fees are already in your written quote.
