Cork · Ireland
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Cork
Cork is Ireland’s second city, built along the River Lee and up some famously steep hills, with mild, damp weather that rarely turns properly cold. The Gilded Seam makes salwar kameez, kurtas and co-ords to your own measurements in Pakistan and delivers them to your address in Cork. There is no shop or measuring service in the city; everything is agreed online and in writing.

InspirationLocal notes
Ordering from Cork
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Ireland: ordering from Ireland.
Soft rain and steep hills
Cork’s weather comes in off the Atlantic: mild, often wet and rarely freezing. Cambric and cotton blends suit most of the year, and a lined kameez or a khaddar suit helps from late autumn into spring. If your day includes the climb up St Patrick’s Hill, say so in your notes: side slits with room to stride make the hills easier, and side slits and hemlines explains the options.
Campus, hospital and office days
Students at University College Cork and Munster Technological University, and people working in the city’s hospitals, pharmaceutical plants and tech offices, often want something smart that copes with a long day. A straight kurta with cigarette trousers, or a co-ord in a plain colour, does that well. For Eid or a family gathering, an embroidered cambric suit with a warm shawl works in any season.
Ordering from Cork
If you have an unstitched suit, perhaps ordered online from a Pakistani brand or brought back from a trip, Stitching Only turns it into a finished outfit. Send photos first and wait until we confirm the fabric, the quantity and the arrangements, then post it to Pakistan with An Post or a courier, tracked and with an accurate customs declaration. That is the first of two separate shipping stages; the second brings your finished outfit to Cork. With Fabric + Stitching, we supply the fabric instead.
Ireland is in the EU, so EU import rules apply, and the Ireland page explains them. Your written quote includes delivery and any import charges, so there is nothing extra to pay when your parcel arrives. Ordering from Limerick works the same way. When you are ready, request a quote.

Stitching Only
You supply suitable fabric, such as an unstitched suit, and we cut, stitch and finish it.

- Confirm suitability and quantity before sending
- Minimum order one suit
Do you have a shop in Cork?
No. We have no shop, studio or measuring service in Cork or anywhere else in Ireland. Everything is ordered online, made in Pakistan to the measurements you send, and delivered to your address.
Can my quote be in euros?
Yes. Customers in Ireland choose euros, US dollars or pounds sterling, and the written quote is issued in that currency.
Can you make Western pieces as well?
Yes. Tops, dresses, skirts and trousers can be made to measure as well as kurtas and shalwar kameez, with the design agreed with you in writing before cutting.
