The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

York · England

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to York

York keeps its medieval walls, its Minster and the narrow timbered lanes of the Shambles, and it is busy with visitors for much of the year. For the people who actually live and work here, The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and delivers it to York addresses, from Clifton to Fulford.

Local notes

Ordering from York

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

Covered, comfortable and smart

Hospitals, universities, offices and shops all ask for something tidy that lasts a long day. A straight knee-length kameez with a round neckline and full sleeves is the most versatile place to begin. Starting from one of our designs, customisation lets you raise the neckline, lengthen the kameez to mid-calf, switch to wide-leg trousers or add a lining so a pale fabric stays opaque. If you would rather describe the whole outfit yourself, that works too. Our modest dressing guide goes through the options.

Suits from Leeds or Bradford

York is a short train ride from Leeds and Bradford, where unstitched suits are easy to find. If you buy one there, we can stitch it: photograph it, let us confirm it suits your design and that there is enough, and then arrange the courier to Pakistan.

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
Can I change the length or sleeves of a design?

Yes. Sleeves, neckline, kameez length, trouser style, lining, pieces and embroidery level can all be changed, and the final design is agreed in writing before cutting.

What happens if the outfit does not match what we agreed?

If it does not match the agreed measurements or design through our mistake, we correct or remake it without charge for the work. Tell us within seven days of delivery; postage both ways is paid by the customer.

Do you deliver inside the city walls?

Yes. Any York address is fine, from a terrace near the Minster to a flat out by the university, and your written quote includes delivery and any import duties, taxes and fees.
