The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Indianapolis · United States

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Indianapolis

Indianapolis sits in the middle of the state, ringed by I-465 and by suburbs such as Carmel, Fishers and Westfield. The Gilded Seam makes women’s salwar kameez, kurtas, co-ords and dresses to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them anywhere in Central Indiana, so an unstitched suit or a design you have saved can become something to wear.

  • Made in Pakistan
  • Minimum order: one suit
  • Quote in EUR, USD or GBP

Local notes

Ordering from Indianapolis

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

Midwest weather, two wardrobes

Indiana summers are hot and humid, and winters bring snow, ice and cold winds across flat country. A summer set in lawn and a winter set in khaddar or karandi between them cover most of the year, and cambric fills the gaps in April and October. For the coldest months, ask for a lining and full sleeves, and allow a little extra ease if you wear a thermal layer under the kameez.

Work, Butler and weekend plans

A tidy kurta and pants are welcome in most Indianapolis offices, and a short kurta set with full sleeves does that job well. Students at Butler or the downtown campuses may prefer a relaxed co-ord. For Eid, Diwali parties or a wedding where you are a guest, ask for a detailed level of embroidery on a flared kalidar suit, cut in a winter fabric if the date falls in the cold months.

What happens after you ask for a quote

Fill in the quote form with your measurements, photos and the service you want. We reply with a written quote covering the design, fabric, making time, shipping to Indiana and any US import charges. Once you approve it and pay in full by bank transfer, Wise or a card payment link, we make the outfit in 5 to 7 working days (with Stitching Only, after your fabric arrives) and ship it to you.

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
Can you stitch a suit bought online from a Pakistani brand?

Yes, if the fabric suits the design and there is enough of it. Send photos before shipping it, and once we have agreed the arrangements, you send it to Pakistan by tracked international mail.

Is there a showroom in Indianapolis?

No. There is no showroom, store or studio in Indiana or anywhere in the US. Everything is ordered online and made in Pakistan.
