Richmond, Virginia · United States

Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Richmond, Virginia

Richmond, Virginia, sits on the falls of the James River, and its summers are long, hot and humid. Winters are milder than farther north but still bring cold snaps. The Gilded Seam makes women’s kurtas, co-ords and salwar kameez to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to Richmond, from the Fan and Church Hill to the suburbs in Henrico and Chesterfield.

Local notes

Ordering from Richmond, Virginia

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

A summer that runs from May to September

In a Richmond summer, the fabric matters more than the cut. Lawn and fine cotton breathe, and a kurta left unlined stays cool on a walk along the river. Choose elbow or three-quarter sleeves and an easy, straight shape. If you want a lining to make lawn less sheer, ask for a light cotton one; the lining guide explains the trade-off.

Offices, VCU and the state capital

Richmond is Virginia’s capital, so plenty of people work in state offices, banks and law firms, and VCU brings a large student and hospital crowd. A knee-length kurta in cambric over straight pants looks polished at work and is easy to wash. Cotton silk with a delicate neckline embroidery lifts the same shape for an Eid dinner.
