London · England
London has plenty of places to buy an unstitched suit, and far fewer free hours to get one made up. The Gilded Seam cuts and stitches women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and delivers the finished outfit to any London address, so the fabric still folded in its pack can become something you actually wear, without another trip across town.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the UK: ordering from the UK.
Green Street in Upton Park, The Broadway in Southall and Ealing Road in Wembley are packed with Pakistani brand packs, Indian dress material and fabric by the metre, and Upper Tooting Road and Ilford Lane have their own suit shops too. Wherever yours came from, photograph each piece in daylight: shop lighting flatters colour, and daylight photos help us judge the fabric and match thread.
With Stitching Only, your suit travels to Pakistan and the finished outfit returns as a separate delivery. Contact us with the photos first, and we confirm the fabric is suitable, that there is enough for your design, and how to send it. Rather not send anything? With Fabric + Stitching we supply the agreed fabric instead.
A London day can mean a cold platform, a stuffy carriage and then a heated office. Lawn and cotton kurtas cope best with that swing: they breathe underground and layer under a coat outside. For work, a straight kurta with cigarette trousers, or a two-piece co-ord in cambric, looks polished without fuss. If a kameez will mostly be worn with jeans, ask for a shorter length, and mention pockets in your notes if you want them.
Measure at home with a soft tape using our size guide, in centimetres or inches, and enter the numbers on the quote form. Your written quote confirms the design, production time and shipping cost before anything is cut, and includes any import duties and taxes, so there is nothing extra to pay on arrival; our UK page explains what GOV.UK says.
Custom stitching · Custom design · London
Finding a ladies tailor in London who can fit you in before Eid, or a dress maker who will copy a look from a photo, takes time most of us do not have. So skip the search. Send us a screenshot from Instagram, a sketch on paper or a few lines about the outfit you keep picturing, and we cut and stitch it to your measurements in Pakistan, then courier it to your door, whether that is in Southall, Wembley, East Ham or Walthamstow.
A custom made dress, a Pakistani suit or an abaya all start the same way: your design. Pick a piece from the photos below and change the neckline, the sleeves or the length, or send your own design from scratch. The fabric, every detail and the full price in pounds are written into your quote before we cut, so the outfit you dreamed up is the one that arrives.

Custom abayas · London
Looking for a custom abaya in London? We make abayas to your measurements in Pakistan and courier them to any London address. There is no shop or fitting room in London: you choose a design or send a photo of the abaya you want, give us your measurements, and approve one written quote in pounds that already includes delivery and any import VAT or duty.
Collection abayas start from £79, each with a matching scarf, in nida, crepe or chiffon and in S to XL or made to measure at the same price. For a London commute in changeable weather, crepe is the practical choice: it is the most opaque of the three and hangs well over a jumper. Names, initials or a monogram can be embroidered where you like. These are Blessed Friday Sale prices, 20% off until 30 November. From 1 December the three tiers are back to £99, £125 and £150.
Sizes, delivery and import charges for the whole country are set out on custom abayas in the UK, and how much a custom abaya costs explains the price tiers.
