Qatif · Saudi Arabia
Qatif is one of the oldest towns on the Gulf coast, an oasis of palm groves just north of Dammam, with Tarout Island across a short causeway. Summers are long and humid, and family occasions fill the calendar. We make women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and courier it to your Qatif address.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Saudi Arabia: ordering from Saudi Arabia.
Through the summer, breathable fabric matters more than anything: lawn and cambric for a kameez, nida for an abaya, and a cut with a little ease. Winters by the coast are short and mild, so linen covers most of them. A chiffon dupatta or overlay works in any season with a cotton lining underneath.
Eid visits and dinners with relatives mean a steady need for something special. A calf-length kameez with delicate embroidery at the neckline, a co-ord in a soft colour, or a long dress with full sleeves are all simple to ask for; our Eid ideas help you choose. For bolder work, fancy work explains the embroidery levels.
We also have pages for Dammam and Jubail, and ordering works the same way across the Eastern Province.
Custom stitching · Custom design · Qatif
Qatif is an old oasis town on the Gulf coast just north of Dammam, with palm groves, Tarout Island across the water and humid summers. A ladies tailor in Qatif may be close by, but when what you want is unusual, a particular sleeve, a colour you cannot find, a design from a photo, it helps to have it made from scratch. We cut and stitch it to your measurements in Pakistan and courier it to you.
The photos below give you shapes to borrow. Ask for a nida abaya with a closed front, a chiffon evening dress with a lining, a kameez a little longer than standard, or a different colour on any abaya. If you already know the design, send it to us as a photo or sketch. Everything, including the full price, is in your written quote before cutting starts.

Custom abayas · Qatif
Custom abayas for Qatif are cut to your measurements in Pakistan and couriered to your home, with no shop or fitting to visit. You order online or on WhatsApp, in English or Arabic, and can send body measurements or those of an abaya that already fits.
For the coastal humidity, nida is the comfortable everyday fabric, while crepe drapes more richly for occasions. Collection designs start from £80 with a matching scarf, any design comes in any colour, and the quote includes delivery and any duty and VAT.
