The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Madison, Wisconsin · United States

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Madison, Wisconsin

Wisconsin’s capital sits on a narrow isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, with State Street linking the Capitol to the University of Wisconsin campus. It is a city of state workers, researchers and students, and of winters that test every coat you own. The Gilded Seam makes women’s kurtas, co-ords and suits to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to your Madison address.

When the lakes freeze

From December into March the wind comes straight across frozen lakes, so a Madison outfit needs to be warm close to the body. Ask for a lining in a khaddar or marina kameez, choose full sleeves, and if you wear a thermal layer underneath, measure over it or mention it on the form. Velvet is lovely for a winter Eid dinner, and our guide to velvet explains how it wears.

Start from a simple shape

Take the plainest three-piece: a straight, knee-length kameez with a round neck, straight pants and a dupatta. In Madison it might become a longer kameez in lined karandi for January, or a lawn version with elbow sleeves for the Saturday farmers’ market on Capitol Square. A band-collar co-ord suits a lab or a department office, and our designs give you a starting point.

You can change the pieces, neckline, sleeves, kameez length, pant style, lining and embroidery level, and choose whether we supply the fabric. Our page on customizing our designs shows how it works, or start a customized quote directly.
