Arlington · United States
Arlington, Texas sits in the middle of the Metroplex, between Dallas and Fort Worth, with the big stadiums and the theme park of its entertainment district on one side of town and the University of Texas at Arlington near downtown. It is a large city in its own right, and a long, hot summer and a short, changeable winter shape what people wear. The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and ships it anywhere in Arlington, Grand Prairie or Mansfield.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
The South Asian stores of Irving and Richardson are a drive east and Fort Worth is a drive west, but many people in Arlington simply order unstitched suits online. However your suit reached you, send daylight photos and your measurements in inches through the quote form. We confirm the fabric is suitable and enough for your design before you ship anything, and Stitching Only in the USA explains what happens next.
Summer afternoons can pass 100°F, so lawn and cotton with a little ease carry most of the year. Spring brings thunderstorms, and in winter a blue norther can drop the temperature in a few hours, which is when a lined cambric or light khaddar kameez with full sleeves earns its place. Strong air conditioning in offices and lecture halls makes three-quarter sleeves sensible even in July.
Students at UT Arlington want kurtas that go from class to a part-time job, and a straight cotton kurta over cigarette pants does both. For Eid, a family dinner or a wedding where you are a guest, choose delicate, detailed or statement embroidery on the quote form. Our Dallas and Fort Worth pages cover the rest of the Metroplex.
Custom stitching · Custom design · Arlington
Arlington, Texas sits right between Dallas and Fort Worth, so most of the Metroplex is a drive away, yet a ladies tailor in Arlington who can make a kameez or an abaya from your own idea can still take some finding. We make them from Pakistan instead, cut to your measurements and shipped to Arlington, Grand Prairie or Mansfield.
Pick a design from the photos below. For a North Texas summer, ask for lawn with elbow sleeves; for a blue norther, a lined cambric kameez with full sleeves. Students at UT Arlington can start with a single kurta, and a family can put several outfits in one quote. To begin with your own picture, send your design. Every detail and the full price go into a written quote, and we cut only after you approve it.
