The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Reggio Emilia · Italy

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Reggio Emilia

Reggio Emilia is where the Italian tricolour was first adopted, in 1797, and the Sala del Tricolore in the town hall still remembers it. Today it is a busy city on the Via Emilia between Parma and Modena, with the Mediopadana high-speed station on its edge. We make shalwar kameez, kurtas and co-ords to your measurements in Pakistan and deliver them to your address in Reggio Emilia.

Local notes

Ordering from Reggio Emilia

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

Weekdays at full speed

Whether your day is spent at a desk, on your feet or on the school run, everyday clothes need to cope with a full day and a cycle ride home. A two-piece of a short straight kurta with elbow sleeves and cigarette trousers covers most of it. If you start from one of our designs, you can change the sleeves to full length for winter, or the kurta to knee length for a smarter look.

Fog in winter, heat in summer

The Po plain gives Reggio Emilia cold, damp, foggy winters and hot, sticky summers. Khaddar, karandi and marina are worth owning for the coldest months, with full sleeves and a longer kameez; for summer, choose lawn and voile cut loose, lined only where the fabric is sheer.

Eid and family occasions

For Eid or a family gathering, a three-piece with detailed embroidery on the neckline, sleeves and hem is festive but not heavy. If you are ordering for several people, put each person’s measurements against their name, and every outfit is listed in your written quote. With Stitching Only, label each suit before it goes in the parcel to Pakistan, and send it only after we have confirmed the fabric. Your quote includes delivery to Reggio Emilia and any IVA or customs charges; Modena and Parma are close by.

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 you make matching Eid outfits for me and my sisters?

Yes. Send each person’s measurements and say which details should match, such as the fabric, neckline or embroidery level. Each outfit is made to its own measurements and listed in your quote.

Can I be measured in Reggio Emilia?

No. There is no shop, studio or measuring appointment in Reggio Emilia. The size guide shows how to measure at home, and the numbers are agreed with you in writing before cutting.
