Custom Frock Stitching, Cut to Your Length

Frock cuts and what you can change

A kalidar frock is made of many long panels, so it flares from a fitted top into a wide hem; our guide to the kalidar frock shows how it is built. An A-line frock widens gently and evenly. A flared frock pairs a fitted bodice with a fuller skirt. A tiered frock is built from gathered layers, like our tiered maxi dress, which you can order as it is or change.

Each of these is agreed with you in the quote:

• Length: knee, mid-calf, ankle or floor, measured with the shoes you will wear.
• Flare: how many panels or tiers, and how full the hem is.
• Waistline: at your natural waist, a higher line under the bust, or no waist seam at all.
• Neckline and sleeves: any neckline, and sleeves from sleeveless to full or bell sleeves.
• Lining: full or bodice only, which we suggest for chiffon and other sheer fabric.
• What goes with it: trousers, a shalwar, churidar or a dupatta, quoted only if you ask for them.

Measurements for a frock

A frock fits at the shoulder, bust and waist and falls free below, so those numbers matter most. Send body measurements, or garment measurements from a frock or dress you own that fits well. Say which they are, and keep the two separate.

The size guide shows where to take each one.

• Shoulder, bust, waist and hip
• Armhole and upper arm, for fitted sleeves
• Sleeve length
• Where your natural waist sits, measured down from the shoulder
• Full length from shoulder to hem, in your shoes

Fabric and construction

Flare needs fabric that moves. Chiffon and lawn give soft, swinging panels, cambric and linen hold a crisper shape, and velvet makes a heavier, warmer frock for winter. We suggest a lining for anything sheer.

A kalidar or tiered frock uses noticeably more fabric than a straight kameez, so an unstitched suit meant for a kameez may not be enough. With Stitching Only we check the quantity from your photos and measurements before you send anything.

Embroidery on a frock

Embroidery on a frock usually sits on the bodice, the neckline or yoke, the sleeves, or along the hem, where a border shows off the flare. We do hand embroidery, machine embroidery, zari, beadwork and sequins. What suits your frock depends on the fabric, how it is made, how dense the design is and where it goes; heavy work on a light, gathered hem can drag it down, for example. We confirm the method and placement in your written quote.

We make frocks for Eid, dinners, gatherings and everyday wear, not bridal wear.

How pricing works

A custom frock is quoted individually. The price depends on the cut and how much fabric it takes, the lining, the sleeves, any embroidery, and whether we supply the fabric. Ready designs such as the tiered maxi dress show their own price on the product page.

The written quote shows one total, including delivery to your address and any import duties, taxes and customs or courier fees. You pay it in full once you approve it, by bank transfer, Wise or a card payment link.

Making time and delivery

Your frock is made in 5 to 7 working days once the quote is approved and paid in full, or once your fabric reaches us with Stitching Only. Courier transit is extra, varies by destination and has no guaranteed date.

Delivery is calculated for your parcel and destination and shown in your quote, with import charges included, so nothing is due when the frock arrives.

From a photo

A photo is the quickest way to show us the cut you mean. Send one or several, say what you like about each, and we tell you what will work in your fabric and size. The finished frock follows the fabric, construction, measurements and details agreed in your quote, so it takes its style from the photo without being an exact replica.
