Dearborn · United States
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Dearborn
Dearborn borders Detroit on the west, and its Arab American heritage is visible on Warren Avenue and at the Arab American National Museum. For many women here, modest dressing is simply everyday dressing, and ready-made pieces rarely get the length, the sleeves and the neckline right all at once. The Gilded Seam cuts kameez, kurtas, co-ords and maxi dresses to your own measurements in Pakistan and ships them to your Dearborn address.

Ordering from Dearborn
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Covered, without the extra fabric
Store-bought modest wear tends to solve one problem and create another: the hem is long enough but the shoulders are too wide, or the sleeves cover the wrist but bunch at the elbow. When the garment starts from your measurements, you can ask for full sleeves, a calf-length or floor-length kameez and a higher neckline that sits neatly under a scarf. Our tiered maxi dress already has full sleeves and a band collar, and a long kameez with a band collar over straight pants is just as covered.
To change any of our designs, from the sleeve length to a lining behind sheer chiffon, see customizing our designs in the US.
Ramadan nights and a Michigan winter
Ramadan and Eid follow the lunar calendar, so they arrive roughly eleven days sooner every year and can land in a January freeze or a sticky August. For cold evenings at the mosque or a family iftar, khaddar and karandi keep you warm under a coat, and velvet works for a winter Eid dinner. In the humid summer, unlined lawn is far more comfortable. Students at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and people working in the auto industry’s offices often want one outfit that handles both a long day and an evening gathering.

Can the kameez be made longer than usual?
Yes. Kameez length is taken from your measurements and agreed in writing, so you can ask for calf length or longer. What works best with your fabric and design is confirmed in your written quote before anything is cut.
Is there anywhere in Dearborn to try a sample on?
No. We have no store, studio or try-on point in Michigan or anywhere else in the US. You measure at home in inches, everything is agreed in writing, and the outfit is made in Pakistan and shipped to you.
Will I owe anything when the package arrives?
No. Your written quote includes delivery to your Dearborn address and any import duties, taxes and customs fees, and you pay it in full in advance in US dollars, euros or pounds sterling.
