Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Preston
Richard Arkwright worked on his spinning frame in Preston in the 1760s, and the town became one of Lancashire’s great cotton centres. Every twenty years it holds the Preston Guild, with the next one due in 2032. You need not wait that long for a new outfit: The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and delivers it to Preston, with every step arranged online.

Ordering from Preston
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the UK: ordering from the UK.
UCLan days and city-centre offices
With the University of Central Lancashire spread across the city centre, Preston is full of students and staff who need clothes that work hard. A short kurta with cigarette trousers is easy for lectures. For an office, the same kurta made in linen at knee length, or a co-ord with a band collar and wide-leg trousers, looks smart enough for a meeting.
Diwali, Eid and Navratri
Preston’s Gujarati and Pakistani families keep a full calendar: Eid twice a year, Diwali in the autumn and Navratri garba nights, when a light kameez that moves freely beats a heavy one. For dancing, ask for an A-line or kalidar kameez with deeper side slits, and keep embroidery to the neckline and sleeves so the outfit stays light.
Ordering from Preston and the Fylde
Measure at home with the size guide, then use the UK quote form. If you are sending your own suit, we confirm the fabric and how to send it before it leaves Preston. If not, Fabric + Stitching means we supply the agreed fabric.
Your written quote, in pounds sterling, includes delivery to your PR postcode and any import charges, so nothing is collected at the door; the UK page has the details.
