Local notes

Ordering from Memphis

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

Fabric for river-city humidity

From May to September, the damp air makes even a short walk feel warm. Pick lawn, voile or a fine cotton, and keep linings to a minimum: a cotton one behind a pale print is enough. Wider sleeves and a little ease through the body let air move. Memphis winters are mild but often damp, so cambric or linen with full sleeves covers most of December to February.

Medical district mornings, weekend gatherings

If you work long shifts around the medical district or study at the University of Memphis or Rhodes College, a two-piece in cambric holds its shape through the day and washes easily. A short kurta set with the sleeves lengthened is one way to get there. For Eid or a family gathering, a kalidar suit with flared panels and a lightly embroidered hem is made for movement.

Your suit or ours

Own an unstitched suit already? Photograph it in daylight and send it through the Stitching Only quote form. We tell you whether it suits your design and is enough, and how to send it, before you ship it to Pakistan. No suit? With Fabric + Stitching we choose the fabric with you and share photos with the quote. Either way, the written quote covers shipping to Memphis and any import duties, taxes and fees.

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
Will anything be due when the package reaches Memphis?

No. Shipping to your address and any US duties, taxes and fees are already in the total you agreed, so there is nothing to pay at the door. If a carrier ever asks for money, contact us first.

How long does it take to make?

Production takes 5 to 7 working days, counted from approval and full payment, or with your own fabric, from the day it reaches us. Shipping to Tennessee is separate and varies.
