The Gilded Seam: Custom Women’s Stitching

Style library

Kameez, sleeve, neckline and trouser styles

Every part of a suit you can choose when it’s stitched to your measurements: the neckline (gala), sleeves (bazu), the cut of the kameez, the hem and slits (daman and chaak), and the shalwar or trousers. Each guide explains what the style is, what it suits, which fabrics work and how to ask for it.

How to use these guides

Pick one style from each group, or choose “advise me” on the quote form and we’ll suggest what suits your fabric. Your choices are written into your design approval, and nothing is cut until you’ve agreed it.
