Milwaukee · United States
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Milwaukee
Milwaukee weather reports often come with a reminder that it is “cooler by the lake”, and on Lake Michigan’s shore that holds for much of the year. The Gilded Seam cuts and stitches women’s salwar kameez, kurtas, co-ords and Western pieces to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, Brookfield and the rest of southeastern Wisconsin.

Ordering from Milwaukee
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Built for a Wisconsin winter
Winters here are long and cold, so the warm weaves come first. Khaddar and karandi are dense enough for a January commute, and velvet is a rich choice for an Eid dinner when it is snowing outside. Ask for a cotton lining, full sleeves that sit under a coat cuff, and a straight or cigarette pant that works with boots.
Summer on the lakefront
When summer finally arrives, the lakefront fills with festivals and picnics, and lawn comes out of storage. A breezy kurta with three-quarter sleeves, or a straight lawn suit with a contrasting dupatta, suits a warm afternoon. Students at Marquette or UW-Milwaukee can get plenty of wear from a cotton co-ord in spring and fall.
Sending fabric from Wisconsin
To use your own suit, send daylight photos through the quote form and wait for us to confirm the fabric, the quantity and the shipping arrangements. Then mail it internationally with tracking and an honest customs description. Allow for two journeys, there and back, when you plan around a date. If that sounds like too much, Fabric + Stitching means we supply the fabric and only one shipment is involved.

How do I measure for a kameez worn over thermals?
Measure over the layer you plan to wear, or measure as normal and note it on the form. We take it into account and confirm the ease in writing before cutting.
Will I owe customs fees when the outfit arrives?
No. Delivery and any US duties, taxes and fees are already part of your quote, so there is nothing to settle with the carrier.
