Minor adjustments may cost less, while more intricate alterations could exceed that range.

Key Things to Remember:
Bring the right shoes and undergarments: These items affect the fit and look of your gown, so please bring them to the fitting.
What to Bring for Your Fitting: For the best fitting experience, please bring the shoes you plan to wear with your dress, along with the appropriate undergarments. As these items can influence both the fit and appearance of your gown, ensuring a more accurate fitting.
Stable weight after the initial fitting: If you’re on a weight loss or gain journey, please know that it is important that your weight remains stable following your initial fitting. This ensures that the fit continues to be comfortable and fitting.

If you have tight timelines, contact us at info@opalalterations.com.au to discuss other options.
Brides on Weight Loss/Gain Journey
If you’re on a weight loss or gain journey before your wedding day, additional fittings may be required, which could incur an extra fee of $80.
Key Steps to Consider:
Initial fitting: We recommend scheduling your first fitting 5-6 weeks before your wedding to complete alterations that won’t be affected by weight changes (e.g., shortening the hem).
Final adjustments: A second fitting will be scheduled 2-3 weeks before the wedding to take final measurements and make last adjustments.
Maintaining weight: After this fitting, we recommend maintaining your weight to avoid additional charges for new services. Any changes after the final fitting will incur extra costs.
For any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at info@opalalterations.com.au.
