Al Ahsa · Saudi Arabia
Al Ahsa is one of the largest palm oases in the world, a green expanse in the Eastern Province with Hofuf and Al Mubarraz at its centre, and the oasis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Summers are long and very hot, and winters are short and mild. We make women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and courier it to your address anywhere in Al Ahsa.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Saudi Arabia: ordering from Saudi Arabia.
In the hottest months, choose fabric that breathes: lawn or cambric for a kameez, a light nida for an abaya, and a cut with room to move. A lining only where it is needed keeps the weight down. In winter, linen or a lined kameez covers most evenings. Our guide to what to wear under an abaya in the Saudi heat helps with layers.
A family celebration can call for something dressed up. We make long evening dresses with full sleeves, a higher neckline and a lining, with embroidery in zari, beads or sequins where the fabric allows; see custom made dresses. We make outfits for guests, not for the bride. Send a photo of the dress you have in mind, and we confirm the details in writing.
For students at King Faisal University, the most useful pieces are the ones that survive a busy week: a straight kurta and trousers in cambric, sleeves to the wrist, and a fabric that needs little ironing. One set or several can go on the same request, and the size guide shows how to measure.
Custom stitching · Custom design · Al Ahsa
Al Ahsa is one of the largest palm oases in the world, with Hofuf and Al Mubarraz at its heart, and its summers are long and fiercely hot. Two things tend to be on the list here: an abaya light enough for that heat, and an evening dress worth wearing to a family celebration. A ladies tailor in Al Ahsa can be booked up for weeks before Eid, so send your design and measurements to us instead. We stitch it in Pakistan and courier it to you.
Use the photos below as a starting point. An abaya can be made in any colour, with a matching scarf on our collection designs; a dress can take longer sleeves, a higher neckline or embroidery in zari or beads. If you have a picture, send your own design instead. The fabric, every measurement and the full price are agreed in a written quote before we cut.
