The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Custom design · United Kingdom

Custom design stitching in the UK

A custom design from the UK often starts with a screenshot: a kameez spotted online, a dress from a friend’s party photos, a kurta a colleague wore to work. With [Send Your Design](/services/stitch-your-own-design), you share that picture, a sketch or a written description, and we make it to your measurements in Pakistan, then ship it to your UK address. One outfit is enough, and the whole design is agreed in writing before cutting.

From the UK

Custom design for the UK

Send your own design, a reference photo or written requirements, and we make it to your measurements.

Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from the UK: ordering from the UK.

Designs that suit British weather

A design that looks perfect on a hot summer day may need a change or two for a damp British autumn. We may suggest a lining under a sheer fabric, full sleeves instead of short, or a heavier fabric such as khaddar or karandi if you plan to wear it in winter. You decide; we simply point out where the design and the season pull in different directions.

Screenshots, catalogue photos and sketches

Send the clearest image you have, and if several pictures show different parts of the look, label them: the neckline from this one, the sleeves from that. Our guide to briefing a tailor with screenshots explains what helps, and recreating a design from a catalogue photo covers how close a recreation can get.

Western pieces are welcome too. A dress for a works party, a skirt or a pair of tailored trousers can all be made from your design, as can a kurta, co-ord or three-piece suit.

Your fabric or ours

If you already have suitable fabric in the UK, the design can be made with Stitching Only, once we have confirmed the fabric from photos. If not, choose Fabric + Stitching and we source it, sharing photos and descriptions with your quote. Start on the UK quote form; the quote is in pounds sterling and already includes delivery and any import charges.
