Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Austin
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.

Ordering from Austin
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Built for Central Texas heat
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.
Casual offices, UT and weekend dawats
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.
Suits bought online or in Houston
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.

FAQ
Austin questions
Do you have a studio in Austin?
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.
Which fabric should I pick for an Austin summer?
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.
