The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Albany, New York · United States

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Albany, New York

Albany runs on state government, with the towers of Empire State Plaza and the Capitol at its heart, and on students, with the University at Albany just west of downtown. Neither leaves much time for hunting down a tailor. The Gilded Seam makes salwar kameez, kurtas and co-ords to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to Albany, Schenectady, Troy or anywhere else in the Capital Region.

Local notes

Ordering from Albany, New York

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

Built for a Capital Region winter

Winters along the Hudson here are long, snowy and properly cold, so a winter suit needs some weight. Khaddar and karandi are dense enough to hold warmth, and a cotton lining adds another layer without bulk. Full sleeves finished to sit under a coat cuff, and a kameez that falls at or just below the knee, keep you covered on the walk from a parking lot. Our winter fabrics guide compares the options.

For the office at the Plaza

State office dress is usually business casual, and a kurta set fits that easily. A short straight kurta with full sleeves, or a knee-length three-piece worn without the dupatta, both look tidy at a desk. Summers can be warm and humid, so keep one lawn or cambric set for July.

Ordering from Albany

Measure at home in inches and enter the numbers on the USA quote form. With Fabric + Stitching we source the fabric and share photos of it with your quote. With Stitching Only, you ship your own suit to Pakistan after we have confirmed it. Either way, the quote covers delivery and any import charges, and the USA page explains the steps.

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 you make a kameez long enough for snow boots and a long coat?

Yes. Give the exact length you want in inches and mention the coat length if you want the hem hidden. Lengths are agreed in writing before cutting.

Do you have anyone in Albany who can measure me?

No. There is no store, studio or tailor of ours in New York State. You measure yourself with our size guide, ideally with a friend holding the tape.
