Pittsburgh · United States
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is a city of three rivers, steep hills and hundreds of public steps, where getting around often means climbing. Clothes here need to move. The Gilded Seam makes women’s kurtas, co-ords and salwar kameez to your measurements in Pakistan, with cuts that suit how you actually spend your day, and ships them to your address anywhere from Squirrel Hill to the South Side.
- Made in Pakistan
- Minimum order: one suit

Ordering from Pittsburgh
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Cuts for hills and steps
A kameez with side slits and pants with a little ease make the city’s slopes and stairways easier. Wide-leg pants or a classic shalwar give room to stride, and a knee-length kurta stays out of the way on a bus or an incline car. For Oakland, where Pitt, Carnegie Mellon and the big hospitals sit close together, a matching co-ord set works for long days of classes, lab work or shifts on your feet.
Grey winters, humid summers
Western Pennsylvania winters are cold, cloudy and often slushy, so khaddar or karandi with a lining makes a practical winter suit; choose a richer color to brighten a grey day. Summers turn warm and humid, and lawn takes over from June. Our winter fabrics guide compares the heavier options.
Ordering from Allegheny County
Send your measurements in inches through the USA quote form. If you have an unstitched suit, Stitching Only works once we have confirmed the fabric from your photos; you then ship it to Pakistan by a tracked international service and declare it honestly. If you would rather we choose, we supply the fabric. Either way, the quote includes delivery and any import charges, and the USA page has more.

Can you add pockets to a kurta?
Ask in the design notes. Side-seam pockets are a common request, and what is possible on your design and fabric is confirmed in your written quote.
Is there a store in Pittsburgh where I can see your fabrics?
No. We have no store or studio in Pennsylvania. We share photos and descriptions of the fabric with your quote, and there are no free samples.
