Padua · Italy
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Padua
Padua (Padova) has been a university city since 1222, and students still give its arcaded streets much of their life. Its huge oval square, Prato della Valle, and Giotto’s frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel draw visitors all year. We make kurtas, co-ords and shalwar kameez to your measurements in Pakistan and ship them to your address in Padua.

Ordering from Padua
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Italy: ordering from Italy.
Clothes for lectures and bicycles
If you cycle to lectures, the library or work, a kameez for the saddle needs a little planning: side slits that stop at a comfortable height, a length that does not catch on the back wheel, and straight or cigarette trousers rather than a very full shalwar. A short kurta in cambric is practical for a day on campus, while a knee-length kurta with straight trousers looks right for a thesis presentation or a part-time office job.
The Veneto plain through the year
Like the rest of the Veneto plain, Padua has hot, muggy summers and cold, foggy winters. For July, lawn and voile with elbow sleeves are kindest; for January, khaddar, karandi or a lined cambric suit with full sleeves. Spring and autumn are mild enough for linen. Order a winter suit before the cold arrives, because with Stitching Only your fabric travels to Pakistan first. The winter fabrics guide helps you choose.
Sending fabric from Padua
If you have an unstitched suit, photograph each piece in daylight and send the photos with your quote request. We confirm the fabric suits your design and is enough for it, and agree the sending arrangements, before you post anything; then you book a tracked courier to Pakistan and declare the contents honestly. More detail is on our Stitching Only page for Italy. The finished outfit comes back as its own parcel, with delivery and import charges already in your quote. Venice and Vicenza have their own guides.
