Swansea · Wales
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Swansea
Swansea curves around its bay towards Mumbles, with the Gower peninsula beyond and the rain never far away. Dylan Thomas called it an ugly, lovely town, and locals tend to agree with the second half. The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and delivers it to Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot and the rest of South Wales.

Ordering from Swansea
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the UK: ordering from the UK.
A wet coast
South West Wales catches a lot of Atlantic rain. Darker prints and mid-weight cambric cope well, a cotton lining keeps a kameez from clinging in the damp, and full sleeves are worth choosing for most of the year. For a dry summer day on the beach at Langland or Caswell, lawn comes into its own.
Sending a suit from Wales
If you buy suits on a trip to Cardiff or receive them from family, Stitching Only can make them up. Photograph each piece in daylight and send the pictures before anything else. When we confirm the fabric is suitable and enough, and how to send it, you book the courier to Pakistan, describe the contents plainly on the customs form and keep the tracking number.
The finished outfit is then shipped back to Swansea separately, with delivery and any import charges included in your quote.
Students on the bay
Swansea University’s campuses sit by the bay, and a single kurta for Eid or a dinner is a perfectly normal order for a student.

Do you have a studio in Wales?
No. There is no shop, studio or premises in Wales or elsewhere in the UK. Orders are arranged online and made in Pakistan.
What if I am not sure my suit has enough fabric?
Send photos and any lengths you know before posting it. We confirm whether there is enough for your design, and if there is not, you hear that while the fabric is still in Swansea.
