The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching
QuoteGet a quote

Oakland · United States

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Oakland

Oakland looks across the Bay at San Francisco but usually enjoys more sun and slightly warmer afternoons, with the fog often stopping at the water. Life here moves between Lake Merritt, Uptown, Temescal and the hills, and BART makes the trip to the city or to UC Berkeley easy. The Gilded Seam stitches women’s salwar kameez, kurtas, co-ords and Western pieces to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda and San Leandro.

Local notes

Ordering from Oakland

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

Clothes for walkers and train riders

An Oakland day can include a loop around the lake, a train ride and hours at a desk. Cigarette or straight pants are easier on a crowded platform than a wide shalwar, and a knee-length kameez is simpler on station stairs than an ankle-length one. Tell us how you get around in your notes, and we suggest the trouser style and length that suit it.

Mild weather, light layers

With cool mornings and pleasant afternoons most of the year, cotton, cambric and linen are Oakland’s everyday fabrics. A linen co-ord fits the climate well, and a lined cambric suit covers the rainy months from November. Keep chiffon for evenings out and summer parties.

From photo to package

Whether you begin with an unstitched suit, a design you have saved or one of ours, the quote form is the first step. For your own fabric, wait until we have confirmed it before you ship anything to Pakistan; the finished outfit then returns to Oakland as a second shipment. The written quote lists the design, fabric, measurements, delivery and import charges, so the total is clear before you pay. Customizing one of our designs is often the quickest start, and across the water, see our San Francisco page.
