Detroit · United States
Metro Detroit stretches across Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, and its weather runs from snowy, gray winters to hot, sticky summers. The Gilded Seam stitches women’s salwar kameez, kurtas, co-ords and Western pieces to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to you, whether you live downtown, in Dearborn or Hamtramck, or out in the northern and western suburbs.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Detroit winters are long and gray, with snow and wind that make a thin cotton kameez impractical from December to March. Khaddar, karandi and marina hold warmth without bulk, and velvet is a good choice for a winter Eid or a family dinner; our guides to winter fabrics and velvet for winter and Eid compare them. A cotton lining, full sleeves and a knee-length kameez work under a heavy coat, and straight pants sit neatly over snow boots.
Plenty of people across the metro area work for the automakers and their suppliers, from downtown to Dearborn and Auburn Hills, and plenty more study at Wayne State in Midtown or the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. A structured cambric kurta over straight pants looks smart in an office, and a cotton co-ord is easy for class. Summers here can be properly hot and humid, so unlined lawn and voile come out from June.
Many people in metro Detroit order unstitched lawn and winter collections online from Pakistani brands, or bring suits back from trips home. Photograph each piece in daylight and send the photos with your measurements in inches through the quote form. For Stitching Only, we confirm the fabric is suitable and enough for your design, and how to send it, before you ship anything. It then travels to Pakistan by a tracked international service with an accurate customs declaration, and the finished outfit comes back as a separate shipment. Would you rather not ship anything? Fabric + Stitching means we supply the fabric. Our United States page explains US import charges, which your quote includes.

Even in Dearborn, an abaya that suits your height and the way you move is not always on the rack. We make abayas, Pakistani suits and dresses to your measurements in Pakistan and ship them anywhere in metro Detroit, from downtown and Hamtramck to the suburbs of Oakland and Macomb counties. For a gray Michigan winter, a crepe abaya over warm layers is a practical choice, and a lined one is warmer still.
Choose a design from the photos below and tell us the length, the sleeve and the color you want; we make abayas in nida, crepe or chiffon. Collection abayas come with a matching scarf, and our abayas with hijab show how the two pair up. You can also send your own design. Every detail and the full price are in your written quote, agreed before we cut.
