The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Fairfax, Virginia · United States

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Fairfax, Virginia

Fairfax sits in the middle of Northern Virginia, close to George Mason University and a short drive or Metro ride from Washington. Weekdays here often mean an office in Tysons or the District, weekends mean dawats and family gatherings. The Gilded Seam makes women’s kurtas and salwar kameez for both, cut to your measurements in Pakistan and shipped to Fairfax, Vienna, Burke or anywhere else in the county.

Local notes

Ordering from Fairfax, Virginia

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

Weekday sets for the Orange Line

If you ride the Metro from Vienna toward Washington, DC, or drive I-66 to an office, a kurta needs to look neat after the commute. Cambric and cotton blends crease less than lawn, and a straight knee-length kurta with cigarette pants reads as business casual. For George Mason classes, wide-leg pants give you more room to move.

Dawats, Eid and the weekend

For an evening at a relative’s home or an Eid party, a dressier shape works better. An angrakha with a side tie, or a long kameez with an embroidered front panel, both work well, and our fancy work page explains the embroidery levels. Northern Virginia summers are hot and humid, so lawn or chiffon suits a July Eid; winters are cold enough for velvet or a lined karandi.

Send your design or your suit

If you have a screenshot of exactly what you want, custom design starts from it. If you have a suit to stitch, we confirm it from photos before you ship it to Pakistan. Start on the USA quote form, and see the USA page for how delivery and import charges are included in your quote.
