The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Jubail · Saudi Arabia

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Jubail

Jubail is two places in one: the old town on the Gulf coast, and Jubail Industrial City, which grew up beside it and brought families from all over the world. Many homes here mix abayas, Pakistani suits and Western pieces in one wardrobe. We make all of them to your measurements in Pakistan and courier them to your Jubail address.

Local notes

Ordering from Jubail

Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Saudi Arabia: ordering from Saudi Arabia.

Humidity on the coast

From late spring to early autumn the Gulf air is heavy, and fabric that clings is hard to live with. Lawn and fine cotton for a kameez, nida for an abaya, a cut with some ease and side slits that let the air move all help. If you love chiffon for an evening, ask for a cotton lining so it stays opaque and does not stick. Our guide to fabrics for humid climates goes further.

Working days and weekends

For long days in an office or a lab, a knee or calf-length kurta in cambric with straight trousers is an easy uniform, and pockets can be added if you ask. For weekends, a co-ord or a modest maxi dress with full sleeves works for a walk by the sea and a dinner out; see custom made dresses.

Compounds and nearby cities

If you live on a compound, give the gate or building details and a mobile number when the order goes ahead; on the first enquiry your city is enough. Our pages for Dammam and Al Khobar cover the rest of the Eastern Province.

Your dream design, made real

Jubail has two sides, the old town on the coast and the industrial city that grew up beside it, and families from many countries live between them. Wardrobes vary to match: a black abaya for errands, a Pakistani suit for a dawat, a modest dress for the weekend. A ladies tailor in Jubail who handles all of them can be hard to find, so we make each one to your measurements in Pakistan and courier it to your door.

Choose something from the photos below and adjust it for the Gulf humidity: a light nida abaya, a looser cut, a cotton lining where chiffon is sheer. Then add the details you want, from the sleeve shape to the embroidery level. With Fabric + Stitching we supply the cloth too. We only start cutting once you have approved the written quote and its full price.

Two ways to order

Our fabric, or yours

Both are made to your measurements in Pakistan. The minimum order is one suit, and we don’t offer free samples.

  • Fabric + Stitching

    We supply the agreed fabric and make your outfit to your measurements. One parcel: the finished outfit shipped to you.

    • Fabric agreed with you before cutting
    • Minimum order one suit
    • No need to send anything
  • Stitching Only

    You supply suitable fabric, such as an unstitched suit, and we cut, stitch and finish it.

    • Two shipping stages: your fabric to us in Pakistan, then the outfit to you
    • Confirm suitability and quantity before sending
    • Minimum order one suit
Can I order one kurta rather than a full suit?

Yes. One piece is a normal order, whether that is a kurta, an abaya, a dress or a pair of trousers, all cut to your measurements.

Which currency will my quote be in?

US dollars, pounds sterling or euros, whichever you choose. The quote covers the outfit, delivery to Jubail and any import charges, and is paid in full before we start.

Do you have a shop in Jubail?

No. We have no shop, studio or tailor in Saudi Arabia. You take your measurements at home with our size guide, and the outfit is made in Pakistan.
