Västerås · Sweden
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Västerås
Västerås stretches along the northern shore of Lake Mälaren, west of Stockholm: a city of engineering offices, a university and quiet residential streets. Inland winters bring hard frost and snow, and the wind off the lake can feel raw. The Gilded Seam makes salwar kameez, kurtas and co-ords to your own measurements in Pakistan and ships them to Västerås. There is no workroom or tailor of ours in Sweden, so the whole order runs online.

Ordering from Västerås
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from Sweden: ordering from Sweden.
Frost outside, central heating inside
In a heated office a heavy kameez can feel stifling by lunchtime, yet the wait for the bus on a January morning calls for warmth. Layering solves both. A lined cambric or linen kurta suits the desk, with sleeves cut slim enough for a winter coat and straight trousers roomy enough for wool tights underneath. Keep a khaddar or marina suit for the hardest cold snaps. Does my kameez need lining explains when a lining is worth asking for.
Engineering, study and calm, plain dressing
Mälardalen University and the city’s engineering and energy employers bring people to Västerås from many countries. Swedish workplaces favour plain, practical clothes, and a band-collar co-ord in one solid colour sits comfortably among them; in khaddar with full sleeves, it carries on through the winter. Office-wear kurtas has more ideas. When summer finally arrives, long evenings by the lake suit something light in lawn.

FAQ
Västerås questions
Can I order a single kurta for work?
Yes. One piece on its own is a perfectly normal order. Choose it on the quote form, add your measurements and a photo of the look you want, and we reply with a written quote.
Will the courier ask me for moms when the parcel arrives?
No. Import VAT, called moms in Sweden, along with any customs duty and courier clearance fee, is included in your quote, so there is nothing to pay at the door. If anyone does ask, contact us before paying.
