The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

The Gilded Seam makes women’s salwar kameez, kurtas, co-ords and Western pieces to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to addresses on both sides of the river.

Local notes

Ordering from Cincinnati

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

Humid river summers, gray winters

The Ohio Valley holds on to humidity in summer, and winters tend to be gray and damp rather than bitterly cold. Lawn and cotton handle July; for January, a lined marina or khaddar kameez with full sleeves is warm without being heavy. Spring and fall are the seasons for cambric and linen, ideally in colors that work with a jacket over the top.

One design, changed your way

Starting from a finished design can be easier than a blank page. Pick one of our designs and change what does not suit you: a long, dressy kameez for dinners and Eid can become everyday wear at the University of Cincinnati or Xavier with a shorter length and a lighter embroidery level. The customization page lists what can change: pieces, neckline, sleeves, length, trouser style, lining and embroidery.

Ohio or Kentucky, the same process

The quote form asks for your country and city, so choose the USA whichever side of the river you live on. Enter measurements in inches, add photos or notes, and pick Fabric + Stitching or Stitching Only. We confirm everything in a written quote, including shipping and any import duties, taxes and fees, and start production once it is paid in full. Making takes 5 to 7 working days; shipping time is extra and varies.

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
Do you ship to Covington and Newport in Kentucky?

Yes. We ship to any US address, including Northern Kentucky, and the shipping cost is part of your written quote.

Can I send a photo of a suit I saw at a wedding?

Yes. A reference photo is a good starting point for Send Your Design. We tell you what we can make from it in your chosen fabric, and nothing is cut until the details are agreed in writing.
