The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Ajax · Canada

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Ajax

Ajax, out east in Durham Region, has the Lake Ontario waterfront on one side and the 401 on the other, and the nearest tailor who works with shalwar kameez may be a long drive away. The Gilded Seam stitches your suit to your measurements in Pakistan and couriers it back to Ajax, with every detail agreed online before cutting.

  • Made in Pakistan
  • Minimum order: one suit

Ordering from Ajax

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

Posting your fabric from Ajax, step by step

Stitching Only means two journeys: your fabric goes to Pakistan, and the finished outfit comes back separately. To keep the first one smooth, lay out the kameez fabric, trouser fabric, dupatta and any embroidered panels, photograph them in daylight and send the pictures through the quote form. We confirm the fabric suits your design, that there is enough, and how to send it.

You then book the shipment yourself at a post office or with a courier. Use a tracked service, describe the contents plainly on the customs form with their real value, and tuck a note with your name and quote reference inside. Our stitching page for Canada has more on this.

A windy waterfront

Walks along the Ajax waterfront trail are lovely in summer and bracing for much of the year. A dupatta in a lighter fabric can blow about, so tell us if you would prefer it a little heavier or shorter. For the colder months, a lined kameez in karandi with full sleeves is a sensible everyday choice.

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
What if I send fabric before you confirm it?

Please do not. We need to check the fabric and the quantity first, and agree how to send it, so nothing is posted that cannot be used for your design.

Who pays the shipping to Pakistan?

You arrange and pay for sending your fabric to us, unless your quote says otherwise. Delivery of the finished outfit, with any import charges, is included in your written quote.
