Made-to-measure clothing delivered to New York
New York is one of the easiest places in the country to buy a Pakistani or Indian suit, and one of the hardest to find the time to get it stitched. The Gilded Seam cuts and stitches women’s salwar kameez, kurtas and co-ords to your measurements in Pakistan and ships the finished outfit to your door, in any of the five boroughs or beyond.
- Made in Pakistan
- Minimum order: one suit

Ordering from New York
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
From Jackson Heights and Coney Island Avenue
The suit and sari shops around 74th Street in Jackson Heights, Queens, and the Pakistani stores along Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn sell unstitched lawn, cambric and embroidered packs in every season. Photograph each piece by a window rather than under store lights, so we can judge the color and weave.
With Stitching Only, your suit is shipped to Pakistan and the finished outfit comes back as a separate shipment. Contact us with the photos through the quote form first, and we confirm the fabric is suitable, that there is enough for your design, and how to send it. Rather not ship anything? With Fabric + Stitching we supply the agreed fabric instead.
Cut for a New York winter and a sticky July
A New York winter means wind between tall buildings, cold subway platforms and then overheated apartments and offices. Khaddar, karandi and marina hold warmth without bulk, and a lined kameez sits more smoothly under a long wool coat. Our winter fabrics guide compares them.
By July the city is hot and humid, and lawn and light cotton take over. An easier cut and unlined sleeves keep a summer kurta comfortable on a crowded train, and a knee-length kurta over straight pants works as well in a Midtown office as in a class at Columbia or NYU.

FAQ
New York questions
Is there anywhere in New York I can hand over my fabric?
No. There is no store, studio or address in New York. Once we have confirmed your fabric, you ship it to Pakistan by a tracked international service with an accurate customs declaration, and the finished outfit is shipped to you.
Will I pay anything when the package reaches New York?
No. The outfit is shipped from Pakistan, and your written quote includes delivery and any US duties, taxes and fees, so there is nothing extra to pay when the package arrives.
Can you stitch a suit that came without a brand label?
Yes, subject to fabric suitability and sufficient quantity. Photograph every piece, tell us what it is if you know, and we confirm whether it suits your design before you ship anything.
