The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Stitching Only · United Arab Emirates

Stitching for your own fabric in the UAE

Plenty of wardrobes in the UAE hold an unstitched suit or two: a lawn pack from Bur Dubai, an Eid gift still in its box, a set carried back in a suitcase from Lahore or Karachi. Stitching Only turns it into an outfit cut to your measurements. The fabric travels to us in Pakistan, and the finished outfit comes back to you.

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

From the UAE

Stitching Only for the UAE

You supply an unstitched suit or fabric, and we cut, stitch and finish it to your measurements.

Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from the UAE: ordering from the UAE.

Before anything is posted

Photograph every piece in daylight: shirt fabric, trouser fabric, dupatta, and any separate neckline pieces, borders or sleeve panels, and include the label if there is one. Our notes on what is inside an embroidered lawn pack help you check nothing is missing. We confirm the fabric is suitable for your design and that there is enough, and agree how you will send it, before you post anything.

Sending fabric from the UAE

You choose and book the courier to Pakistan, and that first shipment is arranged and paid by you unless your quote says otherwise. Fold the fabric flat in a sealed bag, describe the contents honestly on the customs form, and send us the tracking number. Our guide to posting your fabric covers packing in more detail.

The 5 to 7 working days of making start once the fabric reaches us and your quote is paid in full. Delivery of the finished outfit and any UAE import charges on it are already in the quote.

Allow for two journeys

Stitching Only has two separate shipping stages, so start earlier than you would with a tailor down the road, especially before Eid. Begin on the UAE quote form.

How it works

Stitching Only step by step

  1. 01

    Photograph your fabric

    Send daylight photos of every piece, with the lengths if you know them, and tell us the design you want.

  2. 02

    We confirm it before you post

    We check the fabric is suitable and enough for your design, and agree how to send it to Pakistan, before anything goes in the post.

  3. 03

    You send it, we make it

    Once your fabric reaches us and your quote is paid in full, we cut and stitch it in 5 to 7 working days.

  4. 04

    Your outfit comes back

    The finished outfit is shipped to you as a second, separate delivery, with delivery and any import charges already in your quote.

  • Single pieces welcome

    One outfit is enough. No minimum bundle.

  • Full payment in advance

    You pay once you’ve approved your quote, before we cut anything.

  • 5 to 7 working days to make

    Production time only. Shipping is added on top.

  • Delivered worldwide

    Delivery and import charges are included in your quote.

What if my suit does not have enough fabric for the design I want?

We tell you before you post it. We can suggest changes that fit the fabric you have, or you may prefer Fabric + Stitching, where we supply it.

Can I send several suits in one parcel?

Yes, once we have confirmed each one from your photos. Every suit is listed separately in your written quote with its own design and measurements.
