The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Norwich · England

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Norwich

Norwich grew wealthy on worsted cloth, and in the nineteenth century its weavers produced the Norwich shawls that were sold far beyond Norfolk. The Gilded Seam carries on the simple idea of cloth made into something worth keeping: we stitch women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and deliver it to Norwich and the towns and villages around it.

Local notes

Ordering from Norwich

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

When there is nowhere nearby to buy a suit

Unstitched lawn packs are easy to find in some British cities and harder to come by in East Anglia. That is where Fabric + Stitching helps: tell us the design, the colour and the feel you want, and we source the agreed fabric in Pakistan, show you photos and a description with the quote, and make the outfit there. Only the finished piece travels, in a single parcel.

We do not sell fabric on its own or send free samples, and nothing is cut until the fabric is agreed in writing.

Dry summers, raw easterlies

East Anglia is one of the drier corners of Britain, and a warm Norwich summer suits lawn and cambric beautifully. Winter is another matter, when the wind blows in cold from the east. A lined khaddar kameez with full sleeves is a practical answer, and for staff and students at the University of East Anglia, a short straight kurta with elbow sleeves and cigarette trousers is easy to wear across campus all year.

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
