Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Hamilton
Hamilton sits inland on the Waikato River, within reach of Auckland but with its own pace. Finding someone nearby to stitch a shalwar kameez can still mean a drive north. The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and couriers it to your Hamilton address, with the design and measurements agreed online.
- Made in Pakistan
- Minimum order: one suit

Ordering from Hamilton
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from New Zealand: ordering from New Zealand.
Humid summers and foggy mornings
Being inland, Hamilton can feel warmer and muggier than the coast in summer, and winter mornings are often grey with fog. Lawn and cambric suit the summer months, and a lined cambric or khaddar kameez helps through June to August. Three-quarter sleeves are a useful middle ground for the in-between seasons.
For the University of Waikato or a weekend at Hamilton Gardens, a knee-length kurta with straight trousers is easy. For a family gathering, an angrakha with a side tie is a little dressier without being heavy.
Starting with your own idea
If you have seen a style you love, send a photo or a sketch, or describe it in writing: the neckline, sleeves, length and trouser style. We tell you what we can make from it and agree every detail before cutting. Our page on custom design in New Zealand explains what to include.
Then measure at home with our size guide. A kameez you already wear comfortably, measured flat, is a helpful extra reference.

Can I order only one kurta?

Who pays any import charges on the parcel?
We do. Delivery and any import duties, taxes and fees are already part of your written quote, so there is nothing to pay at the door.
