The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Fancy work · Singapore

Fancy work and embellishment in Singapore

Hari Raya Puasa visits, Deepavali open houses and wedding dinners you attend as a guest are when Singapore wardrobes get dressier. Fancy work lets you add embroidery, lace or borders to the outfit we are stitching for you, at the level that suits the day and the humidity. It is always part of an outfit we make, never a separate job.

From Singapore

Fancy work for Singapore

Embroidery, lace and borders added to the outfit we stitch for you, from delicate to statement (never bridal).

Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from Singapore: ordering from Singapore.

Matching the level to the occasion

Delicate work at the neckline or sleeves is subtle enough for the office, a Friday or a small family lunch. Detailed work at the neckline, sleeves and hem gives a festive look for Hari Raya visiting, when you are greeting relatives from morning to night. Statement work is bolder, for Eid evenings, parties and dinners where everyone dresses up.

In a humid climate, think about where the work sits. Embroidery at the neckline and a lace-trimmed sleeve look rich but leave the rest of the kameez airy, whereas heavy work across the whole body adds warmth.

How it is agreed

Choose a level on the quote form and add a reference photo of the embroidery, lace or border you like. We confirm what is possible on your fabric and design in your written quote, along with where the embellishment goes, before you pay.

If you would rather start from something ready, browse our designs and choose an embroidery level when you customise one.

How it works

Fancy work step by step

  1. 01

    Choose the level

    The placement and amount of embellishment are agreed in writing with the rest of the design, and quoted as part of the outfit.

Can I have embroidery on the dupatta only?

Ask in your notes. Placement is agreed for each outfit, and your written quote confirms what is possible on your fabric and design.

Do you embroider a kurta I bought elsewhere?

No. Embroidery, lace and borders are added only to outfits we are stitching for you.
