Los Angeles · United States
Los Angeles dresses for sunshine most of the year, and its South Asian shopping has a well-known home in Little India on Pioneer Boulevard in Artesia. 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 in the Valley, on the Westside or down in the South Bay.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Unstitched suits from Artesia’s shops, or from brands you order online, are exactly what our Stitching Only service is for. Photograph each piece in daylight and add your measurements in inches on the quote form. We confirm the fabric is suitable and enough for your design, and how to send it, before you ship anything to Pakistan by a tracked international service. The finished outfit then comes back to California as a separate shipment, and your quote includes delivery and any US import charges, so there is nothing extra to pay when the outfit arrives.
With mild winters and long, dry summers, lawn, cotton and linen work in Los Angeles almost every month. Inland neighborhoods get properly hot, evenings near the coast turn cool quickly, and early summer often starts under a gray marine layer. A cotton kurta with full sleeves, or a dupatta to wrap around you when the sun goes down, covers both. Heavy khaddar and karandi are rarely needed here.
Los Angeles leans casual, and not every order has to be a three-piece suit. A linen kurta with wide-leg pants, a printed lawn co-ord or a simple dress cut to your measurements all suit brunch, errands and weekend gatherings. Describe what you want in the design notes; custom stitching shows the shapes we make.
Custom stitching · Custom design · Los Angeles
Plenty of people in Los Angeles can picture a dress they have never found on a rail. If you have been searching for a custom dress maker in Los Angeles who works from a picture rather than a pattern book, this is how we already work. You send the idea and your measurements from anywhere between the Valley and the South Bay, and we stitch the piece in Pakistan and ship it to you. Suits bought on Pioneer Boulevard in Artesia can come too, once we have checked the fabric.
The photos below are designs you can change. Turn a kurta into a linen co-ord for weekends, shorten a maxi, add full sleeves for cool evenings near the coast or ask for hand embroidery on the yoke. Our page on custom made dresses shows the shapes we cut. The fabric, every detail and the total in dollars, euros or pounds sit in a written quote that you approve before we start.
