The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Fancy work · Australia

Fancy work and embellishment in Australia

A touch of embroidery or a fine border can turn an everyday suit into something for Eid, a dinner invitation or a mehndi you are attending as a guest. With fancy work, we add embroidery, lace or borders to the outfit we are stitching for you in Pakistan, at the level you choose, and courier it to your Australian address. It is always part of an outfit, never offered on its own.

  • Made in Pakistan, shipped to Australia
  • 5 to 7 working days to make, plus shipping
  • Quote currency agreed with you

Fancy work for Australia

Embroidery, lace and borders added to the outfit we stitch for you, from delicate to statement (never bridal).

Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from Australia: ordering from Australia.

Picking a level for Australian occasions

Delicate work at the neckline or sleeves suits an office party, a university event or a relaxed family lunch. Detailed work, at the neckline, sleeves and hem, is a good choice for Eid morning or a dholki. Statement work is bolder and meant for Eid evenings and parties.

Heat changes the choice. In a Queensland or Northern Territory summer, a lot of embellishment can feel heavy, so delicate or detailed work on lawn is often the more comfortable option. In a Melbourne or Hobart winter, statement work on a heavier fabric such as velvet feels more at home.

How the work is agreed

Share a reference photo of the embroidery, lace or border you like, and say where you want it. What is possible on your fabric and design is confirmed in your written quote, along with the placement. A panel of detailed work down the front of a long kameez, or a single light line along the hem, are both examples of what you can describe.

If you are sending your own suit with ready-made embroidered pieces, tell us, and we plan how to use them in the design.

How it works

Fancy work step by step

  1. 01

    Choose the level

    On the quote form, pick delicate (neckline or sleeves), detailed (neckline, sleeves and hem), statement (bolder work for Eid and parties), or ask us to advise.

  2. 02

    Show us the look

    Add a reference photo of the embroidery, lace or border you like. What is possible on your fabric and design is confirmed in your written quote.

  3. 03

    Agreed before cutting

    The placement and amount of embellishment are agreed in writing with the rest of the design, and quoted as part of the outfit.

  4. 04

    Made with the outfit

    The work is done in Pakistan as part of stitching your outfit, which is then shipped to you. We do not embroider garments on their own.

  • Single pieces welcome

    One outfit is enough. No minimum bundle.

  • Full payment in advance

    You pay once you’ve approved your quote, before we cut anything.

  • 5 to 7 working days to make

    Production time only. Shipping is added on top.

  • Delivered worldwide

    Delivery and import charges are included in your quote.

Can you embroider a garment I already own?

No. Embroidery, lace and borders are only added to an outfit we are stitching for you. We do not embroider garments on their own.

Can I order statement work for a winter Eid in Australia?

Yes. Choose statement on the quote form and tell us the date and that it is for a cool season, so we can suggest a fabric to match.
