Local notes

Ordering from Little Rock

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

Arkansas summers are long

From late spring well into September, Little Rock is hot and humid, so the bulk of your wardrobe should be breathable: lawn, voile and fine cotton, cut with room through the body. Winters are mild with the odd icy spell, which a lined cambric or khaddar kameez handles well. Our guide to summer outfits for hot weather has more ideas for the warm months.

Capitol, campus and family occasions

For state offices near the Capitol or classes at UA Little Rock, a knee-length kurta with straight pants is smart and comfortable, and a straight three-piece with a round neck is a good base. For Eid or a family wedding where you are a guest, ask for a detailed level of embroidery at the neckline, sleeves and hem.

No store, one written quote

We have no store or studio in Arkansas, and nobody comes to measure you. Instead, you measure at home with a soft tape, using our size guide, and send the numbers in inches through the quote form. Your written quote then covers the design, fabric, making time, shipping and any US import charges, so the package arrives with nothing to pay.

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 I send my own fabric from Little Rock?

Yes, once we have confirmed it from your photos. Fabric suitability, quantity and how to send it are agreed before you mail anything, and you arrange that shipment to Pakistan yourself, with tracking.

How soon after paying will my outfit be made?

Production takes 5 to 7 working days from approval and full payment. If you are sending your own fabric, the clock starts when it reaches us. Shipping to Arkansas is extra and varies.
