The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

T-shirts

Plain Custom T-Shirts and Embroidery on T-Shirts

We make plain women’s T-shirts to your measurements, and we embroider T-shirts: one we make for you, or your own T-shirt sent to us once we have confirmed it will take the embroidery. Send a reference photo, your own artwork or just an idea, with the colours, the placement and roughly how big you want it. Single T-shirts are welcome, and your written quote confirms the design, size, placement and total before anything is made.

  • Single pieces welcome

  • 5 to 7 working days to make, then shipping
  • Made in Pakistan, delivered worldwide

At a glance

What you can order
Plain women’s T-shirts made to your measurements, and embroidery on a T-shirt we make or on your own suitable T-shirt. One T-shirt is enough. Brands wanting logos on garments go through our manufacturing service.
What you can customise
For a T-shirt we make: fit, length, neckline and sleeves. For embroidery: the design, colours, placement (chest, sleeve, hem, back of the neck) and size, agreed for the fabric.
Fabric: ours or yours
Either. We supply T-shirt fabric agreed in your quote, or you send your own T-shirt after we have confirmed from photos that it will take the embroidery.
Measurements and approval
For a T-shirt we make: bust, waist, hip, shoulder, sleeve and length, as body measurements or from a T-shirt you own that fits well. For your own T-shirt, only where the design goes and how big it is.
What your quote includes
One written total: the T-shirt if we make it, the embroidery as agreed, any design or set-up work it needs, and delivery to your address with any import duties and taxes.
What may cost extra
Nothing on arrival. Changes after approval are priced with you first. With your own T-shirt, you pay to send it to us in Pakistan.
Production and delivery
5 to 7 working days, from approval and full payment, or from your own T-shirt reaching us. Courier transit time is added and depends on your country.

What we do

From the everyday to the extraordinary

  • Plain T-shirts made for you

    Women’s T-shirts cut to your measurements, with the neckline, sleeve length and body length you choose.

  • Embroidery on a T-shirt we make

    A motif, initials or a small design stitched into a T-shirt made for you, planned with the fabric from the start.

  • Embroidery on your own T-shirt

    Send photos first. If the fabric and construction suit embroidery, you post it to us and we stitch the design.

  • Placement and size agreed

    On the chest, a sleeve, the hem or the back of the neck, at a size that suits that part of the T-shirt.

  • From your artwork or a photo

    Your own drawing, a motif you like or a reference photo, turned into a design that works in thread.

  • Logos for brands

    Running a brand and want your logo on garments? Our manufacturing service handles that as a separate project.

The details

Custom T-shirts explained

Plain T-shirts, made to your measurements

A plain T-shirt made to measure fits where standard sizes do not: longer in the body, easier over the hip, or with sleeves that stop where you want them. You choose:

  • Fit: close, regular or relaxed
  • Neckline: round, V or boat neck
  • Sleeves: short, elbow, three-quarter or full
  • Length: cropped, at the hip, or longer to wear over trousers
  • Colour: from the fabric shown in your quote

Measurements

For a T-shirt we make, send body measurements, or garment measurements from a T-shirt you own that fits the way you like. Label which they are and keep them separate; a stretchy T-shirt laid flat measures very differently from the body.

For embroidery on your own T-shirt we need no body measurements, only where the design should go and how big it should be. Measure from a fixed point such as the shoulder seam or the neckline, and add a photo with the spot marked.

  • Bust, waist and hip
  • Shoulder width
  • Sleeve length
  • Length from the shoulder to the hem

Which T-shirts take embroidery well

T-shirt fabric is knitted, so it stretches, and embroidery does not. A firm, mid-weight T-shirt usually takes a design well; a very thin or very stretchy one can pucker or pull around the stitching. Seams, side panels and printed areas also limit where a design can sit.

That is why we look at photos of your T-shirt, and its label, before you post anything. If it is not suitable, we say so and suggest a T-shirt we make instead.

Embroidery methods, placement and size

We do hand embroidery, machine embroidery, zari, beadwork and sequins. On a T-shirt, lighter work generally sits best, because heavy beadwork or dense sequins can drag a knit fabric. Suitability depends on the fabric, the garment’s construction, the density of the design and its placement, and we confirm the method in your quote.

Popular placements are the left chest, the centre front, a sleeve, the hem and the back of the neck. Tell us the approximate size you have in mind, and we confirm the size that will look right on that part of the T-shirt. The design is stitched straight into the T-shirt: we do not print, and we do not make patches.

If you run a brand and want your logo on T-shirts or other suitable garments, that is a manufacturing project, with development, production, labels and packaging quoted per project. See manufacturing for brands.

How pricing works

Each order is quoted individually: the T-shirt, the size and density of the design, the method and the number of pieces all affect the price. Any design or set-up work needed to turn your artwork into embroidery is included in the written quote.

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

Making time and delivery

A T-shirt we make is ready in 5 to 7 working days from approval and full payment. Your own T-shirt is embroidered in the same 5 to 7 working days, counted from when it reaches us in Pakistan. Courier transit time is added, varies by destination and has no guaranteed date.

Delivery is calculated for your parcel and destination and shown in your quote, import charges included. Sending your own T-shirt to us is yours to arrange.

From a photo

Send a photo of embroidery you like, or your own drawing. Thread on a knit fabric cannot show every fine line of a photo or a printed logo, so we simplify where needed and describe in the quote exactly what we will stitch. The finished T-shirt follows that agreed design, not an exact replica of the picture.

FAQ

Custom T-shirts questions

Can I send my own T-shirt for embroidery?

Yes, once we have confirmed it. Send photos of the T-shirt and its label first; if the fabric and construction suit your design, you post it to us in Pakistan and we embroider it and ship it back.

Which T-shirts can be embroidered?

Firm, mid-weight T-shirts usually take embroidery well. Very thin or very stretchy ones can pucker, so we check yours from photos and confirm it in the quote.

Do you make plain T-shirts?

Yes. We make plain women’s T-shirts to your measurements, with the fit, neckline, sleeves and length you choose.

Can I order just one embroidered T-shirt?

Yes. One T-shirt is enough, and several can go on the same quote.

Can you embroider my own design or initials?

Yes. Send your artwork, a photo or the letters you want, with the colours and approximate size. We confirm what will stitch cleanly on the fabric in your quote, and any design or set-up work is included there.

Can you put my brand’s logo on T-shirts?

For brands, yes, as a manufacturing project. Design development, production with embroidery, labels and packaging are quoted per project on our manufacturing page.

Do you print T-shirts or make patches?

No. We embroider directly into the T-shirt. We do not print designs or make patches.

Do you make men’s or children’s T-shirts?

No. We make women’s clothing only.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Yes, before cutting. Anything can change before you approve your quote, and small changes before cutting are usually straightforward. If you cancel after paying, tell us straight away. Before your fabric is cut, we refund what you paid, minus the cost of any fabric we have already bought for your order. With Stitching Only the fabric is yours, so nothing is taken off for it. Once cutting has started, the piece is being made for you alone, so cancelling at that stage is not refunded.

What if something isn’t right?

If your outfit doesn’t match the measurements or design agreed in your quote, that’s our mistake to put right: we correct it or remake it without charging for the work. Tell us within 7 days of your parcel arriving, with photos. You pay the postage to send it back to us and for the corrected piece to come back to you. Because every piece is made to the measurements and design agreed in writing, please check those carefully before you approve your quote.
