Fredrikstad · Norway
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Fredrikstad
Fredrikstad stands at the mouth of the Glomma in Østfold, not far from the Swedish border, and its star-shaped fortified old town, Gamlebyen, is still a lived-in part of the city. Winters are cold and snowy at times, summers bright, with the Hvaler islands close by. The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and sends it to Fredrikstad. We have no premises in Norway; the order is agreed online and in writing.
- Made in Pakistan
- Minimum order: one suit

Ordering from Fredrikstad
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Norway: ordering from Norway.
Cold snaps and cobbles
Winter in Østfold swings between damp, grey spells and proper cold with snow. A lined kameez in khaddar or marina suits the cold weeks, while a lined cambric copes with the rest. If you walk the cobbled streets of Gamlebyen in winter boots, ankle-length straight trousers sit neatly over them. Does my kameez need lining explains how a lining adds warmth.
Choosing between our fabric and yours
With Fabric + Stitching, you describe the warmth, colour and feel you want and we show you photos and descriptions of the fabric with the quote. With Stitching Only, you send an unstitched suit you already own, but only after we have confirmed it is suitable and enough for the design. You book the courier to Pakistan, fill in the customs declaration honestly and keep the tracking number, and the finished outfit comes back to Fredrikstad separately.
Import charges on the Norwegian side
Even this close to Sweden, Norway is outside the EU, and a parcel from Pakistan goes through Norwegian customs, not Swedish. Tolletaten applies import VAT, clothing carries customs duty and carriers charge for handling; the Norway page has the details, and your quote includes all of it. Drammen orders the same way.
