Athens · Greece
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Athens
In Athens the sun sets the rules. Summer runs from late May well into September, heatwaves push the city to its limits, and the white light off the marble and the apartment blocks is fierce. The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your own measurements in Pakistan and ships it to your address anywhere in Athens, from Kypseli and Pangrati to the northern suburbs or the coast at Glyfada. There is no shop of ours here; you order online and agree everything in writing.

Ordering from Athens
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Greece: ordering from Greece.
Built for an Athenian August
When the thermometer climbs, synthetic fabric clings and traps heat. Pure cotton lawn or voile in a loose straight or A-line kameez lets air move, and sleeves of fine fabric down to the elbow or wrist keep the sun off your arms without adding warmth. Pale and mid-tone colours stay cooler on a long walk to the metro than deep, dark grounds.
If a light print is sheer, ask for a cotton lining rather than polyester. Does my kameez need lining? explains when it helps.
The cooler months
Athenian winters are short and mostly mild, but cold snaps do arrive, and stone or marble floors in many flats make indoor days feel cooler than the forecast suggests. A cambric or linen kameez with full sleeves and a shawl-weight dupatta covers December to February without needing anything heavy.
Your first order from Athens
With Fabric + Stitching in Greece, we supply the agreed fabric, so the only parcel is the finished outfit. If you brought a suit back from Pakistan, photograph it and wait for our confirmation before sending it via ELTA or a courier; the outfit then returns separately. One written quote, in euros, dollars or pounds, covers delivery and the import charges explained on the Greece page.

FAQ
Athens questions
Also in Greece
Is there a shop or tailor of yours in Athens?
No. We have no shop, studio or tailor in Athens. You measure at home with the size guide, the design is agreed in writing, and the outfit is made in Pakistan.
What sleeve length suits an Athens summer?
Elbow or three-quarter sleeves in lawn or voile are the coolest. If you want your arms covered from the sun, full sleeves in a very fine cotton work too.
Can I order a single kurta?
Yes. The minimum is one suit, and one kurta on its own is welcome. There are no free samples, but your quote comes with photos and descriptions of the fabric.
