Ordering from Durham, North Carolina
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Comfort for long days
Hospital, research and university days run long, and a well-cut kurta can make them easier. Ask for a little ease across the back and shoulders, sleeves that push up without strain, and pants with a comfortable waistband. Our guide to how loose a kameez should be helps you decide, and adding pockets is a popular request in the design notes.
Fabric for the Piedmont climate
Durham shares the Triangle’s hot, humid summers and mild winters. Lawn and cotton do most of the work from spring to fall; a cambric or linen set with a light lining covers the cooler months. If you already own a suit in a heavier fabric, it can still be stitched; we just suggest the cut that suits it.
How ordering works
Measurements go on the USA quote form, in inches or centimeters. If you are sending a suit, use Stitching Only: we confirm the fabric and quantity from your photos before you ship it, and you declare it honestly on the export customs form. Your quote covers delivery and import charges. Friends in Raleigh order the same way, and the USA page has more.

Can you copy a kurta I already wear to work?
Its measurements and a photo are a helpful guide. Measure it flat, note the numbers in the form, and we use them alongside your body measurements.
Is there a place in Durham where I can see the work first?
No. We have no store or studio in North Carolina, and there are no free samples. Every detail is agreed in writing before cutting.
