Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from Portugal: ordering from Portugal.

A starting point for Portuguese days

Browse our designs and pick the one closest to what you have in mind. The tiered maxi dress, a floor-length chiffon dress with balloon sleeves and a split band collar, shows how it works: for a Lisbon summer you might ask for three-quarter sleeves, while for a cool evening in Porto a lining makes the chiffon less sheer and a touch warmer. A slightly shorter, ankle-length hem is kinder on wet cobbles than one that brushes the ground.

For a working week, a kameez that ends at the knee sits better under a winter coat than a shorter one. For Eid, adding a dupatta or a waistcoat and choosing an embroidery level turns an everyday starting point into something for the occasion.

Changes that help here

You can change the pieces (add a dupatta or waistcoat), the neckline, the sleeves, the kameez length, the trouser style, the lining and the embroidery level. On steep, cobbled streets, straight or cigarette trousers are more practical than a very full shalwar. In the rain of the Minho or Porto, a lining and full sleeves make the most difference.

Your fabric or ours

Choose Fabric + Stitching and we source the fabric, or Stitching Only in Portugal if you have a suit to send once we confirm it. Your written quote, in euros, dollars or pounds, includes delivery and any import charges, as the Portugal page explains.

FAQ

Customise our designs questions

Cities in Portugal

Can I change a design completely?

Customisation covers the choices on the quote form. If you want something very different, use Send Your Design with a photo or description instead.

Can I leave the embroidery off a design?

Yes. The embroidery level is one of the changes you can choose, including leaving it out, and the final design is agreed in writing before cutting.
