The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Nelson · England

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Nelson

Nelson grew up around cotton weaving sheds in the shadow of Pendle Hill, famous for the story of the Pendle witches. The looms have gone, but plenty of homes here still hold good cloth: brand packs from Pakistan, khaddar for winter, lawn for summer. The Gilded Seam stitches it to your measurements and sends the finished outfits back to Nelson, Brierfield and Colne.

Local notes

Ordering from Nelson

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

Making up a brand pack

A three-piece pack usually holds a printed or embroidered shirt front, a back, sleeves, a dupatta and trouser fabric, sometimes with a separate neckline piece or border. Tell us which parts you want used where. Stitching Only means your pack travels to Pakistan and comes back as a finished outfit, two separate journeys, so photograph every piece before we confirm anything and before you post it.

Hill-country winters

Pendle’s weather comes in off the moors, wet and cold for a good part of the year. That is when khaddar shows its worth: a woven, slightly textured cotton that keeps you warmer than lawn. Note on the form whether your khaddar has been washed, since some shrink a little the first time.

Your measurements, not a size

Please give body measurements rather than an S, M or L. Brand charts vary, and a made-to-measure kameez should be cut to you.

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
