New Orleans · United States
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to New Orleans
New Orleans is humid for much of the year, and between Mardi Gras, festival season and long summer evenings, it is a city that likes to be outdoors in the warmth. The Gilded Seam stitches women’s salwar kameez, kurtas, co-ords and dresses to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner and the rest of the metro.

Ordering from New Orleans
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Dressing for Gulf Coast air
The air here is warm and wet, so fabric that breathes and dries quickly matters more than anything else. Lawn and voile are the obvious picks, and a cotton lining should go only where a pale lawn would be see-through. Choose elbow or three-quarter sleeves for everyday wear, keep embellishment light, and save heavier weaves for the few cold weeks of winter, when cambric or linen with full sleeves is usually enough.
Tulane, Loyola and the CBD
Classes at Tulane, Loyola or UNO and office days in the Central Business District all mix a walk in the heat with strong air conditioning. A knee-length kurta over cigarette pants, with a light cotton dupatta in your bag, handles both. If you start from one of our designs, customization lets you lengthen the sleeves or switch to straight pants.
Storm season and planning ahead
From June to November, hurricane season can disrupt mail and courier services along the Gulf Coast, so if you are working toward a date, give yourself room. With Fabric + Stitching only one shipment crosses the ocean, which keeps things simpler. If you prefer to send your own suit, wait for our confirmation of the fabric and arrangements before mailing it.

Is linen a good choice for New Orleans?
It breathes well but creases quickly in humid weather. Lawn and voile hold up better for long days, and linen suits an evening when a relaxed, slightly crumpled look is fine.
Can my sister and I order matching outfits?
Yes. List both outfits in one inquiry with each person’s measurements, and the written quote covers both, including shipping and any US import charges.
