The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Custom abayas · Qatar

Made-to-measure abayas in Qatar

Abayas bought online usually come in a few set lengths. We cut yours to the numbers you send, in Pakistan, and courier it to your address in Doha or anywhere else in Qatar. Start from the eight designs below, each with a matching scarf, or send a picture of the abaya you want. We have no shop or tailor in Qatar, so the length, sleeves and front are settled in writing before cutting.

  • Made in Pakistan, shipped to Qatar
  • 5 to 7 working days to make, plus shipping
  • Quote in USD, GBP or EUR

From Qatar

Custom abayas for Qatar

Abayas cut to your length, sleeves and shape: one of our 100 designs, or your own from a photo or sketch.

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

Humid summers and cold malls

Doha summers are humid as well as hot, so choose the fabric first. Chiffon is the lightest of our three abaya fabrics and is usually worn over a lined inner dress. Nida is matte, light and slow to crease, which helps when you are in and out of the car all day. Crepe falls with more weight and keeps a sharp line in an air-conditioned office.

Our notes on dressing for Qatar heat and air conditioning cover what to wear underneath, and the guide to abaya fabrics for Gulf summer heat compares the three side by side.

Simple black, or something newer

A black butterfly abaya with a little embroidery at the cuffs is the easiest first order: loose, quick to put on and right for most days. For something newer, the cape, bisht, lantern and pleated shapes in our range look dressier for an Eid visit or an evening with friends. Any design can be made in another colour, agreed in your quote, and the embroidery can be hand, machine or a mix of both. Still deciding? Read black or coloured abaya and our butterfly abaya guide.

Measuring and ordering from Doha

Measure the length in the shoes you wear most, or measure an abaya you already own and tell us those are garment figures. Our Qatar abaya guide explains sending your own fabric from Doha, and the Qatar page sets out delivery, customs and payment. You get one written total in US dollars, pounds or euros that includes delivery to your door, and you start on the Qatar quote form.

Are you a ladies tailor in Doha?

No. We have no shop, studio or tailor in Qatar. We are an online alternative: your abaya is agreed in writing, cut and stitched in Pakistan and couriered to you, with no appointments in between.

How long until my abaya reaches Qatar?

We make it in 5 to 7 working days once you approve the quote and pay in full. Courier time to Qatar comes on top, and we do not promise an arrival date, so put any deadline on the form.

Will anything be due when the parcel arrives?

No. The written quote covers delivery to your address in Qatar and any customs duty and courier fees, so nothing is collected at the door. If a courier asks you for money, message us first.
