Yanbu · Saudi Arabia
Yanbu stretches along the Red Sea, from the old port town of Yanbu Al Bahr to the industrial city on the coast, with the palm groves of Yanbu Al Nakhl further inland. The sea keeps the air humid for much of the year. We make women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and courier it to your address in Yanbu.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Saudi Arabia: ordering from Saudi Arabia.
Humidity favours loose cuts and natural fabric. An A-line kameez in lawn, full sleeves that are not tight at the wrist, and a lining only where a fabric is sheer keep an outfit comfortable all day. Light and mid-tone colours feel cooler in strong sun than dark, heavy ones. Our guide to fabrics for Riyadh heat and Jeddah humidity applies just as well on this stretch of coast.
For a family dinner or an evening by the sea, a lightly embroidered kameez, a linen co-ord or a long chiffon dress with a cotton lining is dressy without being heavy. Fancy work explains the embroidery levels, from delicate work at the neckline to bolder pieces for Eid.
If you have bought fabric in Jeddah or Madinah, or have a suit sent from Pakistan, Stitching Only turns it into an outfit once we have confirmed it from your photos.
Custom stitching · Custom design · Yanbu
Yanbu is spread out: the old port of Yanbu Al Bahr on the Red Sea, the industrial city along the coast and the palm groves of Yanbu Al Nakhl inland. Wherever you live, the sea air brings humidity for much of the year. We make abayas, dresses and suits to your measurements in Pakistan and courier them to you, so you do not have to track down a ladies tailor in Yanbu for every piece.
Look at the photos below and decide what to change: chiffon over a light inner layer for evenings, nida for every day, a looser sleeve that lets air through, or a colour other than black. Have your own idea? Send your own design with a photo or a few notes. Your written quote states each detail and the full price, and we begin only once it is approved.

Custom abayas · Yanbu
We make abayas to measure for Yanbu, cut in Pakistan to the measurements you send and couriered to you. A made-to-measure abaya can be shaped for the heat: a looser sleeve, a little more ease at the shoulders, a front that opens or closes the way you like.
Nida is light enough for humid days, and chiffon suits evenings over an inner layer. Collection designs start from £80 with a matching scarf, any design can be made in any colour, and the quote includes delivery and any import charges.
Our guide to abaya fabrics for Gulf summer heat compares the options, and the abaya collection shows every shape.
