Drogheda · Ireland
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Drogheda
Drogheda straddles the River Boyne where Louth meets Meath, with Newgrange and the rest of the Boyne Valley just upstream and Dublin close enough for a daily commute by rail or the M1. The Gilded Seam makes made-to-measure women’s clothing in Pakistan and ships it to Drogheda addresses. You will not find us on West Street or anywhere else in town: there is no shop, and every detail is settled online.

Ordering from Drogheda
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Ireland: ordering from Ireland.
Dressing for the commute
An early train to Connolly or Pearse and a full day at a desk asks a lot of a kurta. Cotton blends and cambric hold their shape on a crowded carriage better than fine lawn, and a mid-thigh length is easier on the stairs at the station. A short straight kurta with cigarette trousers suits exactly that kind of day, and if one of our designs is close to what you want, you can ask for full sleeves or a longer hem through customisation.
East coast weather
The east of Ireland is drier than the Atlantic coast, but the wind off the Irish Sea makes winter mornings feel sharp. A lined kameez, or khaddar from late autumn, sits comfortably under a coat; does my kameez need lining? helps you decide. Lighter cotton and lawn suit the long, bright evenings of June and July.
Fabric and delivery
For an unstitched suit you already own, send us daylight photos before anything goes in the post. Once we have confirmed the fabric, the quantity and how to send it, you post it to Pakistan yourself, with An Post or a courier and an accurate customs declaration, and keep the tracking number. Your finished outfit later travels back as its own shipment.
Ireland follows EU import rules, explained on the Ireland page. Delivery and any import charges are written into your quote, so there is nothing to settle at the door.
