Dunedin · New Zealand
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Dunedin
Dunedin is a student city with Scottish roots, built over steep hills around the Otago Harbour, and its weather is cool for much of the year. Light summer lawn spends a lot of time in the drawer here. The Gilded Seam stitches women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and couriers it to your Dunedin address, in fabrics that suit the south.

Ordering from Dunedin
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from New Zealand: ordering from New Zealand.
Warmth comes first
Winters in Dunedin are cold and summers are mild, so most outfits need some weight. Khaddar and karandi hold warmth, marina drapes softly, and a lining adds a layer to any kameez. Full sleeves are the default, and a kameez cut with a little room lets you wear a thermal underneath; mention it in your notes and we allow for it.
Our guide to winter fabrics explains the differences, and a khaddar co-ord with full sleeves is warm enough for a southern autumn.
Students and the hills
If you study at the University of Otago, practical clothes that cope with walking up steep streets matter more than anything formal. A short kurta with straight trousers or jeans, in a fabric that washes well, is the most useful thing to own. Ask for slightly roomier trousers if you walk a lot.
For Eid or a dawat, add delicate embroidery at the neckline and sleeves; our fancy work page for New Zealand explains the levels. Then send your request through the quote form.
