The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Sunderland · England

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Sunderland

Sunderland faces the North Sea, and anyone who has walked along Roker or Seaburn in February knows how sharp the wind off the water can be. The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and sends it to Sunderland and the rest of Wearside, so the sleeves, lining and cloth can be chosen with the coast in mind.

Local notes

Ordering from Sunderland

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

Dressing for the sea wind

A full sleeve and a lined kameez earn their keep here for most of the year. A band-collar kurta with a buttoned placket and wide-leg trousers works well in khaddar for autumn and winter, and in linen for the few properly warm weeks. Wide trousers also leave room for a thin thermal layer when the wind turns easterly.

Not only shalwar kameez

We also make Western pieces: dresses, skirts, tops and trousers, cut to measure. For students at the University of Sunderland or anyone after a long, covered dress, the tiered maxi dress in chiffon can be made to your measurements, with a lining if you prefer it less sheer. Our guide to made-to-measure Western dresses covers the details worth deciding first.

From Wearside to Pakistan and home again

If you want your own fabric stitched, it goes on two journeys. We confirm it is suitable and enough before you send anything; you book a tracked service, describe the contents honestly on the customs form, and keep the receipt. The finished outfit then comes back as a second delivery, with its cost already in your quote.

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
