Portland · United States
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Portland
Portland’s winters are long, gray and wet rather than freezing, and its summers are dry, sunny and sometimes surprisingly hot. People dress practically here, with layers, sensible shoes and a rain shell never far away. The Gilded Seam stitches women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and ships it to Portland and its suburbs, from Beaverton and Hillsboro on the west side to Gresham in the east, and across the Columbia River to Vancouver, Washington.
- Made in Pakistan
- Minimum order: one suit

Ordering from Portland
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Under a rain shell from October to June
Portland rain is mostly a steady drizzle, so the real question is warmth and breathability under a jacket, not waterproofing. A cotton or cambric kameez with a soft lining, or khaddar in the coldest weeks, is comfortable beneath a shell, and full sleeves stop cuffs riding up your wrists. When summer finally settles in, usually around July, unlined lawn and linen take over. Our cambric guide explains why it suits the in-between months.
Silicon Forest, downtown and campus
The tech campuses around Hillsboro and Beaverton, offices downtown and classes at Portland State and OHSU all favor relaxed, practical clothes. A two-piece co-ord in linen or cambric works on the MAX and at a desk. For a winter dinner or an Eid gathering, a flared angrakha in soft marina drapes well and keeps out the chill.
Getting a suit made from Oregon
Upload photos of your unstitched suit, or of a design you would like, through the quote form, with measurements in inches. For your own fabric, we confirm it is suitable and enough before you ship it to Pakistan by a tracked service, and the outfit then returns to you in a separate shipment; Stitching Only in the USA walks through it. Your quote lists the design, fabric, measurements and delivery, so you know the full cost before paying.

Will the quote include everything to get it to Portland?
Yes. The written quote covers the outfit, delivery to your Oregon address and any US import duties, taxes and customs fees, so nothing more is due when the package arrives.
Can you add a lining to a lawn suit?
Yes. Lining is one of the changes on the quote form, and a cotton lining makes a lawn kameez less sheer and a little warmer for spring.
Do you have a studio in Portland?
No. There is no studio, store or staff in Oregon or anywhere in the US. Everything is ordered online and made in Pakistan.
