Austin · United States
Austin has grown fast, pulled along by its tech employers and the University of Texas, and it dresses casually almost everywhere. Summers are long and hot, and winters short and mostly mild. The Gilded Seam stitches women’s salwar kameez, kurtas, co-ords and Western pieces to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to you anywhere in the Austin area, from downtown to Round Rock and Cedar Park.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
From May into September, afternoons in Austin often climb into the upper 90s°F, and some pass 100°F, so breathable natural fibers matter more than anything else. Lawn, voile and chikankari cotton are the everyday choice, cut with a little ease and lined only where pale fabric would be sheer. Linen suits spring and fall, and for the short winter, when a hard freeze can still arrive, cambric or a light khaddar is usually enough. Our guide to linen kurtas for summer has more ideas.
Between the tech offices downtown and in North Austin and classes at UT, everyday dressing here is relaxed. A linen co-ord, a straight cotton kurta over wide-leg pants or a simple dress cut to your measurements works for most days, and full sleeves or a light dupatta help in chilly air-conditioned buildings. For Eid and weekend dawats, a lightly embroidered lawn suit feels festive without the weight of heavy embellishment.
Many people in Austin order unstitched collections online from Pakistani brands or bring suits back from trips home, and Hillcroft Avenue in Houston is within driving distance. With Stitching Only, photograph each piece and send the photos with your measurements in inches through the quote form; we confirm the fabric, the quantity and how to send it before you ship anything to Pakistan. The finished outfit then comes back as a separate shipment, and your quote includes delivery and any import charges, so there is nothing extra to pay on delivery; our United States page has the background. With Fabric + Stitching, we supply the fabric instead.
Custom stitching · Custom design · Austin
Austin dresses down, so custom stitching in Austin is less about formal suits and more about clothes you will actually wear in the heat: a linen co-ord, a loose cotton kurta, a simple dress cut to your own measurements. We make them in Pakistan and ship them anywhere from downtown to Round Rock and Cedar Park. Suits you bought online or brought back from Hillcroft in Houston can be stitched too, once we have seen photos of the fabric.
Pick from the photos below and change what you like. Full sleeves help in a chilly lecture hall at UT, and a lightly embroidered lawn suit feels festive enough for Eid without the weight. For everyday wear, our co-ord sets show how a matching top and pants can be cut to fit. Your quote lists every detail and the full price, and we cut only after you approve it.

FAQ
Also in United States
No. There is no studio, store or appointment anywhere in Texas or the rest of the US. Everything is ordered online, made in Pakistan and shipped to your address, and your measurements are agreed in writing before cutting.
Lawn is the lightest and coolest, followed by voile and fine cotton. Linen breathes well but creases, so it suits spring and fall best, and a cotton lining is cooler than a synthetic one.
