The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Galway · Ireland

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Galway

Galway faces straight onto the Atlantic, and its weather shows it: wind off the bay, showers that come and go all day and a mildness that makes proper cold rare. The Gilded Seam makes salwar kameez, kurtas and co-ords to your own measurements in Pakistan and ships them to your address in Galway. There is no shop or measuring service in the city; everything is agreed online and in writing.

Local notes

Ordering from Galway

Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Ireland: ordering from Ireland.

Dressing for the west coast

The west is the wettest part of Ireland, and a walk along the prom at Salthill in a westerly wind soon shows what works. Mid-weight cambric, cotton and linen blends are the everyday choices, with a lined khaddar kameez for winter. A dupatta that stays put matters here, so ask about a lighter or stole-sized one you can wrap; our dupatta sizes guide shows the choices.

Campus days and long summer evenings

The University of Galway and the Atlantic Technological University bring students and staff from all over the world, and so do the city’s hospitals and medical technology companies. A straight kurta with trousers, or a co-ord in a solid colour, takes you from lecture to lab to office. In July, when the Galway International Arts Festival fills the city and the evenings stay light until late, a lawn or cotton set comes into its own.

Ordering from Galway

Most people here buy unstitched suits online from Pakistani brands or bring them back from trips, and Stitching Only turns yours into a finished outfit. Send photos first; once we have confirmed the fabric, the quantity and the arrangements, post it to Pakistan by a tracked service with an accurate customs declaration. That is the first of two separate shipping stages; the second brings your finished outfit to Galway. With Fabric + Stitching, we supply the fabric instead.

Ireland is in the EU, so EU import rules apply when your parcel clears Irish customs, run by Revenue, and the Ireland page explains them. Your quote, in euros, US dollars or pounds sterling, includes delivery and any import duties, taxes and courier fees, so there is nothing extra to pay when your parcel arrives. Request a quote when you are ready.
