Local notes

Ordering from Blackburn

Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the UK: ordering from the UK.

Longer, looser and lined

If you prefer a kameez that falls below the knee, a full sleeve, a higher neckline and a lining so nothing shows through, it is simply a matter of measurements and choices on the form. Give your preferred kameez and sleeve lengths and describe the neckline, and everything is agreed in writing before cutting.

A longer kameez needs more fabric, and some brand packs are cut for a shorter length, so send photos of every piece before posting anything. We confirm whether there is enough; if not, Fabric + Stitching lets us supply the agreed fabric instead.

Lancashire weather, cotton sense

Blackburn sits on the edge of the West Pennine Moors, with mild summers, plenty of rain and cold, grey winters. Lawn is lovely for the warmest months; cambric and khaddar earn their keep for the rest of the year. The town grew on cotton weaving, and cotton is still the most comfortable choice for everyday wear. Our winter fabrics guide explains the heavier options.

Ordering from East Lancashire

Measure yourself with the size guide in centimetres or inches, and request a quote through the quote form. Your written quote confirms the design, production time and shipping cost for any BB postcode, from Darwen and Accrington to Burnley and Nelson, and includes any import duties and taxes, so there is nothing extra to pay when your parcel arrives.

Your dream design, made real

Blackburn was once called the weaving capital of the world, and cloth still matters here. Many women in Blackburn prefer a kameez that falls below the knee, a full sleeve and an abaya with room to move, and the local tailors are often booked for weeks. We make Pakistani clothes and abayas to your measurements in Pakistan and deliver them to any BB postcode, from Darwen to Accrington.

Modesty is easy to build into the designs below: a higher neckline, a longer kameez, a lining so nothing shows through, an abaya in black nida or any colour you like. A longer kameez needs more fabric, so send photos first if you are posting your own. Custom abayas explains the options. The details and the price are agreed in writing before cutting, and you approve them first.

Two ways to order

Our fabric, or yours

Both are made to your measurements in Pakistan. The minimum order is one suit, and we don’t offer free samples.

  • Fabric + Stitching

    We supply the agreed fabric and make your outfit to your measurements. One parcel: the finished outfit shipped to you.

    • Fabric agreed with you before cutting
    • Minimum order one suit
    • No need to send anything
  • Stitching Only

    You supply suitable fabric, such as an unstitched suit, and we cut, stitch and finish it.

    • Two shipping stages: your fabric to us in Pakistan, then the outfit to you
    • Confirm suitability and quantity before sending
    • Minimum order one suit
Can you make a longer kameez with full sleeves?

Yes. Every outfit is cut to the lengths you give us, so a below-knee or ankle-length kameez with full sleeves is straightforward. For Stitching Only, we first confirm from your photos that the pack has enough fabric.

Can I send Indian and Pakistani suits in the same parcel?

Yes, once we have confirmed each one. Describe every outfit in your quote request with its own style notes, and the written quote covers each one before anything is cut.
