Waterford · Ireland
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Waterford
Waterford is Ireland’s oldest city, founded by Viking settlers on the River Suir, and the south-east around it tends to see a little more sun than the soggy west. If you would like a salwar kameez, kurta or co-ord shaped around your own body rather than a shop size, The Gilded Seam cuts and stitches it in Pakistan and sends it to your Waterford address. We have no premises anywhere in Ireland, so the whole order is arranged online and confirmed in writing.
- Made in Pakistan
- Minimum order: one suit
- Quote in EUR, USD or GBP

Ordering from Waterford
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Ireland: ordering from Ireland.
Greenway weekends, campus weekdays
The Waterford Greenway follows the old railway line out towards Dungarvan, and a weekend stretch of it on foot or by bike calls for something short and easy: a cotton kurta over slim trousers, with side slits cut high enough to stride. Our page on side slits and hemlines shows the choices. On weekdays, students and staff at the South East Technological University, and anyone heading to a ward or an office, usually want a neat cambric two-piece in a plain colour that washes well and needs little ironing.
Soft rain between the Suir and the sea
Winters here are mild and seldom bring hard frost, but showers blow in off the coast all year. Mid-weight cambric and cotton blends are the everyday fabrics, a lined kameez earns its keep from November, and lawn waits for the warmer part of summer. Walking through the Viking Triangle on a breezy afternoon, a dupatta you can wrap or pin is far easier than a long loose one.
Ordering from Waterford
Have an unstitched suit already, perhaps one sent over by family? Choose Stitching Only. Photograph each piece in daylight and wait until we confirm the fabric suits your design and there is enough of it; only then post it to Pakistan, tracked, with the contents described honestly on the customs form. With no fabric to hand, Fabric + Stitching means we source it for you.
The Ireland page sets out the EU import rules. Your quote, in euros, US dollars or sterling, already covers delivery and any duties, taxes and courier fees.
