Vancouver · Canada
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Vancouver
Vancouver winters are mild by Canadian standards, but they are wet: months of grey drizzle rather than deep snow. The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing that suits that climate, cut to your measurements in Pakistan and couriered to your Vancouver address, whether you live on the East Side, in Kitsilano or near the UBC campus.
- Made in Pakistan
- Minimum order: one suit
- Quote currency agreed with you

Ordering from Vancouver
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Canada: ordering from Canada.
From the Punjabi Market to your wardrobe
The Punjabi Market on Main Street, around 49th Avenue, is known for suit fabric and dress material. If you have bought a suit there, or brought one back from Pakistan, photograph each piece in daylight and send the pictures through the quote form. We confirm it is suitable and enough for your design, and agree how to send it, before you post anything.
Prefer not to send fabric? Fabric + Stitching means we supply it and only the finished outfit travels.
Dressing for rain
On the SkyTrain and the walk from the station, rain is the main problem, not cold. A long kameez can soak up water at the hem, so a knee or mid-thigh length is often more practical, with straight or cigarette trousers rather than a wide shalwar. Cambric and linen dry faster than heavy winter fabrics, and a light lining adds warmth without weight.
On a sunny summer weekend, a lawn kurta is perfect for the seawall.
