The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Custom abayas · Saudi Arabia

Made-to-measure abayas in Saudi Arabia

A Saudi abaya is worn for hours at a stretch: on the school run, at work, in the car and on family visits. That is a good reason to have one cut to your own length and sleeves. We make abayas to your measurements in Pakistan and courier them to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and every other city in the Kingdom. Start from the eight designs below, each with a matching scarf, or send a photo of your own. There is no shop or tailor of ours in Saudi Arabia, so every detail goes into your quote before we cut.

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

From Saudi Arabia

Custom abayas for Saudi Arabia

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 Saudi Arabia: ordering from Saudi Arabia.

Black, coloured and newer shapes

Black is the classic, and the bisht shape, open like the cloak it is named after, sits naturally in the Kingdom; our bisht-style abaya guide explains it. For a newer style, the tulip abaya has petal sleeves, the layered abaya has a second fall of fabric at the sleeve, and the butterfly abaya stays loose from shoulder to wrist. Every design can be made in another colour, such as navy, olive or taupe, agreed in your quote.

Fabric for Riyadh and Jeddah

Nida suits daily wear in both cities: light, matte and quick to shake out after a long day. In humid Jeddah, chiffon over a lined inner dress lets air move, while crepe gives a Riyadh winter evening a heavier, warmer drape.

Our guide to what to wear under an abaya in the Saudi heat covers the layer beneath, and abaya tailoring for Saudi Arabia goes through the measurements we ask for.

From quote to doorstep

Ask for measuring help on WhatsApp if you need it, or measure an abaya you already own and say so. Our guide to custom abayas for Saudi Arabia lists what to ask for, and the Saudi Arabia page covers delivery, ZATCA rules and payment. Your quote, in US dollars, pounds or euros, includes delivery and any duty and VAT; you pay it in full, and we then make the abaya in 5 to 7 working days. Begin on the Saudi quote form.

Can I order a plain black abaya with no embroidery?

Yes. Describe it or send a photo, and a plain black abaya cut to your length is quoted individually, like every custom order.

Is there a tailor in Riyadh or Jeddah who can measure me?

No. We have no shop, studio or tailor in Saudi Arabia. You measure at home with our guide, or ask for help on WhatsApp, and we check the numbers with you before cutting.

Do I pay VAT when the abaya arrives?

No. Your written quote already includes delivery to your address and any customs duty, VAT and courier fees, so nothing is collected at the door. If a courier asks for payment, contact us before paying.
