The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Tilburg · Netherlands

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Tilburg

Tilburg was once the wool-weaving capital of the Netherlands, and the TextielMuseum still keeps looms running in an old mill. Today it is a university city with a creative streak around the Spoorzone, and every July the kermis takes over the streets. If you care about fabric as much as Tilburg once did, The Gilded Seam cuts and stitches it to your measurements in Pakistan and ships the finished outfit to your Tilburg address. There is no shop, studio or naaister of ours here; you order online.

Local notes

Ordering from Tilburg

Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the Netherlands: ordering from the Netherlands.

Fabric, chosen with care

With Fabric + Stitching, you tell us the colour, weight and feel you want and we share photos and a description of a suitable fabric with your quote. Lawn for summer, cambric for most of the Dutch year, linen for a relaxed co-ord, khaddar or marina when it turns cold. There are no free samples, and nothing is cut until you have agreed the fabric in writing. Our fabric library explains each one.

Weekdays and the kermis

Students at Tilburg University and the city’s colleges mostly cycle, so a knee-length straight kurta with slim trousers is a sensible everyday choice. For an office, plain cambric or cotton silk in a dark shade looks professional. Brabant summers are warm enough for lawn on a kermis evening, and winters are damp, so a lining is useful from autumn onwards.

If you already own the fabric

Perhaps you have an unstitched suit from a trip home, or cloth you could not resist. Stitching Only turns it into a finished outfit: send photos and the measurements of each piece first, and post nothing until we have confirmed it is suitable and sufficient. You then send it to Pakistan by a tracked service. Delivery back to Tilburg and any btw, duty and courier fees are in the quote; the Netherlands page explains the rules, and Breda has its own guide.

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
Do you sell fabric without stitching?

No. We only supply fabric as part of an outfit we make for you, under Fabric + Stitching.

How long does making take?

Production takes 5 to 7 working days from approval and full payment, or from when your fabric reaches us for Stitching Only. Shipping to Tilburg is extra and varies.
