Leicester · England
Belgrave Road, Leicester’s Golden Mile, is lined with shops selling saris, suits and dress material, with more along Melton Road. If you came home with fabric you love and no time to have it made up, The Gilded Seam can cut and stitch it to your measurements in Pakistan and deliver the finished outfit to your Leicester address.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the UK: ordering from the UK.
Leicester’s shops sell both. Indian dress material usually comes as a top length, often with embroidery already worked at the neck or border, plus a bottom length and a dupatta. Pakistani brand packs are sold as two-piece or three-piece sets. Either can be stitched with Stitching Only, subject to the fabric being suitable and enough for your design.
Tell us the style you have in mind: a straight kurta with churidar, a flared kameez with a wide trouser, or a short kurti to wear with jeans. Contact us with photos before posting anything, so we can confirm the fabric and how to send it to Pakistan. Our guide to photographing fabric for a quote shows what helps.
Leicester’s Diwali celebrations light up Belgrave Road, and Eid is a big occasion across the city too. For festive evenings, a lightly embroidered kameez in cotton silk, or chiffon over a lining, with a finished dupatta looks special without feeling heavy.
Because your fabric travels to Pakistan and the outfit returns separately, give us your date early. The Eid outfit timeline works just as well for a Diwali party, and the size guide shows every measurement in centimetres or inches.
Custom stitching · Custom design · Leicester
Belgrave Road sells beautiful cloth and Melton Road has more, but finding a ladies tailor in Leicester who can stitch it before Eid or Diwali is another story. Many of our Leicester orders start with dress material bought on the Golden Mile and a picture of how it should look. We make Pakistani suits, dresses and abayas to your own measurements in Pakistan, from your fabric or ours, and courier them to your Leicester home. One outfit is enough to get started.
Choose a style from the photos below and make it yours: swap a round neck for a V, add a lining, ask for detailed embroidery along the hem. Pakistani dresses, an abaya from our collection with its matching scarf, a kaftan for a family dinner can all be adjusted. If the dress material is already in your cupboard, Stitching Only lets you send it to us once we confirm it suits the design. You see the full price in writing before we cut.

FAQ
Also in United Kingdom
Usually, yes. When the neck embroidery is part of the fabric, the neckline follows it, and we check from your photos how it sits with your shoulder and neck measurements before the design is agreed in writing.
Either. The quote form accepts both, so use whichever your tape shows and keep to one unit. The size guide shows where each measurement is taken.
