Leather garments are especially difficult to maintain but we guarantee to professionally alter, repair and take care of your items. Whether it is a pair of pants, a skirt, a dress or sleeves, we can lengthen or shorten them to fit you just right. We use the highest quality zippers and sliders to install new or replace old/broken zippers on all garments and items.
Your wedding dress is the single most important dress you will ever wear and have been dreaming about since childhood. Finding the right dress is the first step. The second step is getting it to fit you and your body shape perfectly. It should not only complement your final look but look and feel amazing.
When it comes to looking good in a suit, the most important factor is the fit. Even the most expensive suit will look sloppy and unflattering if it doesn't fit just right. However, you could turn any off-the-rack suit, which are definitely not designed to fit everyone perfectly, into a custom-made one with a few adjustments.
Our tailors are experts when it comes to all dresses and gown alterations. Whether it is a wedding, engagement party, school formal or any other event, it is our job to make sure that your dress fits you perfectly. We can advise you on the fit, length, measurements etc. Also if you have an old dress that you would like to wear again we can work to restyle and remodel it.

I had a coat jacket altered (sleeves shortened) here; they did a lovely job. The outer stitches were done perfectly, you can't tell that it wasn't the original stitching, and they even preserved the moleskin cuff on the lining.
UPDATE:
I was initially not thrilled with the lining; however, within a couple hours of posting the review, I was contacted by Opal and they offered to fix the lining. They picked it up the next morning, and dropped it off that evening - everything was perfect!
Excellent stitchwork, and excellent customer service.

Super great job repairing an almost unrepairable garment; everyone in my family and circle of friends were super impressed. Extremely courteous and friendly and fair prices, despite being situated in Belconnen Westfields. Thanks again and will definitely be in touch with more work.

Needed suits and shirts done within 48 hours. That meant the bulk discount didn't apply AND had to pay an additional $20. Almost $50 extra. This wasn't noted on the website.
When I collected we discovered one of the shirts was missing which meant I ended up having to wear a non-dry cleaned shirt to a particularly special event.
That shirt was returned 6 days after we left it with them. So, paid a lot more money for a service that resulted in me wearing a home washed and ironed shirt.
Stuff happens, of course, but I don't think the response, an apology, was adequate. A refund of the premium I

This is the 4th or 5th time I have used Opal services for dry cleaning and alterations, and I am never disappointed. Good tailoring really makes a huge difference to clothes! Service is always quick, professional and very friendly, the at-home pick up and delivery is so helpful for busy people, definitely recommend them :)

The service is impeccable - the staff are professional, warm and efficient. The change rooms are private, generous in size and also have good lighting. Highly recommended if you value an eye for detail and for your alterations to be a perfect fit.

Needed to get my coat dry cleaned. Dropped it off with Opal alterations who did a great job. Prices were very affordable and service was very professional.
The clean was completed much faster than expected.
Definitely would go again next time I need something dry cleaned.
