Mechelen · Belgium
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Mechelen
Mechelen sits on the Dijle halfway between Brussels and Antwerp, its skyline ruled by the tower of St Rumbold’s Cathedral, whose bells gave the city its well-known carillon school. It is Dutch-speaking, compact and well connected by train in both directions. The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and delivers it to Mechelen, with every detail agreed online and in writing.
- Made in Pakistan
- Minimum order: one suit

Ordering from Mechelen
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Belgium: ordering from Belgium.
A commuter’s kurta
If you commute from Mechelen to Brussels or Antwerp, your clothes need to look as fresh at a desk as they did on the platform. A mid-thigh kurta with cigarette trousers is a good base, with full sleeves or a longer kameez for winter. A cotton blend creases less than pure lawn on the train.
Weekends on the Dijle
On weekends, a co-ord is ideal for the Grote Markt or a walk along the river. Flemish weather is mild and often damp: cambric for most months, a lined kameez or khaddar for winter, lawn for summer. For Eid or a family dawat, a dressier embroidered suit with a warm dupatta works in any season.
Ordering from Mechelen
With custom design, send your own sketch, photo or written idea. For your own fabric, contact us before posting it to Pakistan. Delivery, import VAT (btw) and EU customs duty are in your quote; see the Belgium page, or the guides for Antwerp and Brussels.

Can I have the parcel sent to my office in Brussels?
Yes, if that is easier. Give the delivery address when the order goes ahead, and the written quote covers delivery and import charges to that address.
When does making start?
Once your quote is approved and paid in full, or with Stitching Only, once your fabric reaches us. Making takes 5 to 7 working days, and shipping is added to that.
