Seattle · United States
Seattle’s reputation for rain is really a reputation for months of drizzle and gray skies, from fall through spring, followed by summers that are dry, bright and pleasantly warm. The Gilded Seam stitches women’s salwar kameez, kurtas, co-ords and Western pieces to your measurements in Pakistan and ships them to you anywhere in the Seattle area, from Capitol Hill and Ballard to Bellevue and Redmond on the Eastside.
InspirationLocal notes
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Seattle winters are mild rather than bitter, but the damp gets into everything. Cambric, cotton blends and a light khaddar or marina carry you from October to April, and a cotton lining adds warmth without bulk. Darker colors and prints hide splashes better than pale lawn, and a kameez that stops at the knee keeps its hem clear of wet sidewalks. If you wear rain boots, tell us, so the pants are cut to tuck in or sit neatly over them.
Plenty of people here work in tech, in South Lake Union and downtown or across Lake Washington in Bellevue and Redmond, and plenty more study at the University of Washington. Everyday dressing is famously casual, so a straight cotton kurta over slim cigarette pants, a matching co-ord or a simple dress cut to your measurements all fit right in. For July and August, unlined lawn with elbow sleeves is ideal for a sunny afternoon by the water.
Many people here order unstitched suits online from Pakistani brands or bring them back from trips home, and Stitching Only turns them into finished outfits. Contact us with photos and your measurements through the quote form first; we confirm the fabric, the quantity and how to send it. Your fabric then travels to Pakistan by a tracked international service, and the finished outfit comes back to Washington State as a separate shipment. Would you rather skip the first shipment? With Fabric + Stitching, we supply the agreed fabric. Our United States page covers the US import charges your quote includes.
Custom stitching · Custom design · Seattle
Seattle’s gray months run from fall to spring, and the clothes that suit them are darker, longer and a little warmer than a summer suit. If you are looking for custom made dresses in Seattle that handle drizzle on Capitol Hill and a heated office in Bellevue, we stitch them to your measurements in Pakistan and ship them anywhere in the area, Ballard and Redmond included.
From the photos below, pick a shape and ask for the changes Seattle needs: a deeper color, full sleeves, a hem that stops at the knee and stays clear of wet sidewalks. Our modest dresses are long and covered if that is what you prefer. In July and August, the same design can be made in unlined lawn. You get a written quote with the fabric, every detail and the full price before we cut.
