Philadelphia · United States
In Philadelphia, an unstitched suit is often ordered online from a Pakistani brand or brought back from a trip home, and the suit stores on Oak Tree Road in Edison, New Jersey, are a drive up the Turnpike. The Gilded Seam cuts and stitches women’s salwar kameez, kurtas and co-ords to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to you anywhere in Philadelphia, from Center City to the Northeast and the Main Line.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
However your suit reached you, Stitching Only turns it into a finished outfit. Send photos of each piece and your measurements in inches through the quote form, and we confirm the fabric, the quantity and how to send it before you ship anything. It then goes to Pakistan by a tracked international service with an accurate customs declaration, and the finished outfit comes back as a separate shipment. Bought yours in New Jersey? Our Edison page covers Oak Tree Road.
Plenty of Philadelphians ride SEPTA into Center City offices, and plenty more study at Penn, Drexel or Temple. A knee-length cotton or cambric kurta over straight pants handles a long day, a crowded train and a lecture hall with equal ease, and a matching co-ord is simple to wear on repeat.
Philadelphia summers are hot and humid, so unlined lawn and voile with a little ease through the body earn their place from June to September. Winters bring cold snaps and some snow, which is khaddar, karandi and marina weather, and a lined kameez sits more smoothly under a wool coat. Spring and fall suit cambric and linen. For Eid or a family gathering, put your date on the quote form early, especially if your own fabric has to reach Pakistan first. Our United States page explains the US import charges your quote includes.
Custom stitching · Custom design · Philadelphia
Plenty of Philadelphians make the drive up the Turnpike to Oak Tree Road in Edison for an unstitched suit, and then it sits in a drawer for months. We can change that. If you want a custom dress in Philadelphia, or a kurta set that copes with a SEPTA ride into Center City and a full day after it, we stitch it to your measurements in Pakistan and ship it to you, anywhere from the Northeast to the Main Line.
Pick a design from the photos below and change the parts that matter to you: a longer kameez, straight pants, a neckline that sits well under a blazer. Matching pieces are easy to wear on repeat, and our co-ord sets show how a shirt and trousers pair up. You can also send your own sketch or screenshot. Everything is set out in a written quote with the full price, and nothing is cut until you approve it.
