Uppsala · Sweden
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Uppsala
Uppsala is a university town before it is anything else: Uppsala University and the agricultural university SLU fill its libraries, labs and student nations, and the commuter train makes Stockholm an easy trip. Winters here run a little colder and snowier than in the capital. The Gilded Seam cuts and stitches women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and sends it to your Uppsala address. Nothing happens in person; you order online, and every detail is settled in writing before cutting.
- Made in Pakistan
- Minimum order: one suit
- Quote in EUR, USD or GBP

Ordering from Uppsala
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Sweden: ordering from Sweden.
Lecture halls, labs and a cold cycle in between
A normal day can mean a freezing ride along the Fyris river and then hours in a warm seminar room, so a knee-length kurta in cambric or a light khaddar, with full sleeves slim enough to slip under a padded jacket, earns its keep. A short, straight two-piece with cigarette trousers is another easy uniform for term time, and university and campus outfits has more ideas.
From a snowy Eid to Valborg
For the next few years Eid al-Fitr falls in February or March, often with snow still on the ground. A lined karandi or marina suit with a warm shawl keeps an Eid visit festive, and a karandi with wool in its blend, if the label says so, is warmer again. Work back from the date using our Eid outfit timeline.
Spring announces itself with Valborg on 30 April, when half the town gathers by the river, and that is the moment a lawn or cotton co-ord can finally come out.
Your own suit, or our fabric
If you already have an unstitched suit, perhaps ordered online or carried back after a trip home, Stitching Only makes it up. Email photos first and post nothing until we have confirmed the fabric, the amount and how it should travel. You then book a tracked courier to Pakistan, declare the contents truthfully and keep the tracking number; the finished outfit returns in a second, separate shipment. Would you rather post nothing? With Fabric + Stitching in Sweden, we supply the fabric.
Your quote, in euros, US dollars or pounds sterling, already covers delivery and whatever EU import charges apply when Tullverket clears the parcel; the Sweden page sets out the rules. Stockholm orders the same way; request a quote whenever you are ready.

FAQ
Uppsala questions
Can the kameez be long enough to cover thermal leggings?
Yes. Tell us the kameez length you want and mention the leggings in your notes, so the trouser measurements allow for them too. We agree the final numbers with you in writing before cutting.
Is there anywhere in Uppsala to be measured?
No. We have no shop, studio or tailor in Uppsala. You measure yourself, or ask a friend to help, with the size guide, and we confirm the numbers in writing.
