The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Modena · Italy

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Modena

Modena is known around the world for its sports cars and its balsamic vinegar, and at home for its cathedral and the Ghirlandina bell tower, listed together by UNESCO. It is a working city of engineers, factories and offices in the middle of the Po plain. We make your outfit to measure in Pakistan, in your fabric or ours, and deliver it to your address in Modena.

Local notes

Ordering from Modena

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

Workwear that stays neat

Long days in an office, a lab or on a factory floor call for clothes that stay neat and wash easily. A straight kurta in cambric with cigarette trousers, or a co-ord with a band collar and straight rather than wide-leg trousers, is smart without being fussy. If your workplace has a dress code, tell us on the quote form: full sleeves, a higher neckline or a longer kameez can all be written into the design.

Fog, frost and summer heat

Modena’s winters are cold and grey, with fog drifting across the plain, and its summers are hot and humid. That calls for two weights of fabric: khaddar or karandi with full sleeves for December to February, and lawn cut loose for June to August. A lining helps a lighter winter kameez hold its warmth, while under a sheer summer lawn a cotton lining is far cooler than polyester.

Ordering from Modena

Request your quote on the form for Italy. If we supply the fabric, we share photos and descriptions with the quote, as there are no free samples. If you supply it, we confirm it from photos before you send it from Modena with a tracked courier you arrange. Your quote can be in euros, US dollars or pounds, is paid in full by bank transfer, Wise or a card payment link before we start, and includes delivery and any IVA or customs charges. Bologna and Reggio Emilia have their own guides.

Two ways to order

Our fabric, or yours

Both are made to your measurements in Pakistan. The minimum order is one suit, and we don’t offer free samples.

  • Fabric + Stitching

    We supply the agreed fabric and make your outfit to your measurements. One parcel: the finished outfit shipped to you.

    • Fabric agreed with you before cutting
    • Minimum order one suit
    • No need to send anything
  • Stitching Only

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

    • Two shipping stages: your fabric to us in Pakistan, then the outfit to you
    • Confirm suitability and quantity before sending
    • Minimum order one suit
Can I order the same kurta in two colours for work?

Yes. Order two outfits on one quote, each with its own fabric or colour. Your measurements are given once and used for both, and each outfit is listed separately in your written quote.

Do you have a shop or tailor in Modena?

No. There is no shop, studio or tailor in Modena or anywhere in Italy. Everything is ordered online and made in Pakistan.
