Waterloo · Canada
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Waterloo
Life in Waterloo often moves in four-month blocks: a study term at the University of Waterloo or Wilfrid Laurier, then a co-op placement somewhere else. The Gilded Seam works around that. Order online, have your outfit made to measure in Pakistan, and give us whichever Canadian address you will be at when it arrives.
- Made in Pakistan
- Minimum order: one suit

Ordering from Waterloo
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Canada: ordering from Canada.
Ordering around co-op terms
The address only matters once your order goes ahead, so you can start an enquiry from Uptown Waterloo and have the outfit delivered to your placement city if you are moving. Remember that making takes 5 to 7 working days from approval and payment, and courier time is added on top.
A single kurta is a perfectly normal order. On a student budget, one versatile piece in a plain cambric gets more wear than an elaborate outfit you only wear twice.
Interviews, labs and convocation
For a co-op interview or a work term in an office, a straight knee-length kurta with cigarette trousers looks professional and is easy to move in. Long, trailing dupattas are a nuisance in labs; ask us to leave it out, or keep it short. For convocation or Eid, step up to a detailed neckline and sleeves, explained on our fancy work page for Canada.
