The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Stitching Only · New Zealand

Stitching for your own fabric in New Zealand

Unstitched suits find their way to New Zealand in all sorts of ways: in a relative’s luggage, as Eid presents, or ordered online from a Pakistani brand. If yours are waiting for a tailor, Stitching Only means we cut and stitch them to your measurements in Pakistan and courier the finished outfits back. There are two separate shipments, and you arrange the first one, from New Zealand to us.

  • Made in Pakistan, shipped to New Zealand
  • 5 to 7 working days to make, plus shipping
  • Quote currency agreed with you

From New Zealand

Stitching Only for New Zealand

You supply an unstitched suit or fabric, and we cut, stitch and finish it to your measurements.

Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from New Zealand: ordering from New Zealand.

Posting fabric from New Zealand

Start with daylight photos of every piece, and wait for us to confirm that the fabric suits your design, that there is enough, and how to send it. Only then book the courier or post. Pack just the fabric, give an honest description of the contents on the customs form, and keep the tracking number until we tell you it has arrived.

Our guide to photographing fabric for a quote shows how to get true colours, which matters on a grey New Zealand day.

Planning around the distance

Your fabric makes a long journey to Pakistan before we start, and the finished outfit makes another one back. Making takes 5 to 7 working days, counted from when your fabric reaches us and your quote is paid. If you have a date in mind, put it on the form.

Would you rather avoid sending anything? Fabric + Stitching in New Zealand has us supply the fabric instead.

How it works

Stitching Only step by step

  1. 01

    Photograph your fabric

    Send daylight photos of every piece, with the lengths if you know them, and tell us the design you want.

  2. 02

    We confirm it before you post

    We check the fabric is suitable and enough for your design, and agree how to send it to Pakistan, before anything goes in the post.

  3. 03

    You send it, we make it

    Once your fabric reaches us and your quote is paid in full, we cut and stitch it in 5 to 7 working days.

  4. 04

    Your outfit comes back

    The finished outfit is shipped to you as a second, separate delivery, with delivery and any import charges already in your quote.

  • Single pieces welcome

    One outfit is enough. No minimum bundle.

  • Full payment in advance

    You pay once you’ve approved your quote, before we cut anything.

  • 5 to 7 working days to make

    Production time only. Shipping is added on top.

  • Delivered worldwide

    Delivery and import charges are included in your quote.

Can I send several suits in one parcel?

Yes, if we have confirmed each one first. Label each suit clearly and tell us which design goes with which fabric, so we can match them.

Will I pay anything when the finished outfit arrives?

No. Delivery of the finished outfit to New Zealand and any import charges on it are already in your written quote.
