Reviews
T Rastegar on Sep 6, 2016
This is just divine! I bought it as part of a funky Persian get-up I'm working on for the upcoming ren fest. But once I got it, I decided it's something I'd wear on the street, to dinner, or out with friends--this is no costume! I'm a plus-sized gal with a thick middle, and the way this closes right under the bust is very flattering. The weight and feel are luxurious, and it has a nice flow to it. Absolutely adorable. Thank you.

I literally can't wait to wear this to class when it starts up this week. Thank you again for quick shipment and friendly service!

I knew this was beautiful in the photo, but in person it's even more lovely. The fabric is thick and soft in just the right way, and the bands on the sleeves are outstandingly elegant. I normally wouldn't like sequins, but they are sparse and the whole piece has a sophisticated, non-costumey feel. I love it. Thank you!

About
Costume designer and owner of Opal Moon Designs, Kerrie Kordowski offers “Threads To Transform Your Spirit.”
My mission: To transform and empower women, while instilling strength, beauty, form, and function.
Inspired by ancient mythology and science fiction, I am passionate about creating comfortable, striking garments of high quality that showcase a vision of both boldness and elegance. Each garment, is handmade in Los Angeles, CA and labeled either “one of a kind” or “limited edition” to ensure genuine originality.
After much success since opening my shop here on Etsy in 2009, I am forever grateful for the growth and continued support from all my loyal customers around the globe. Through domestic & international sales, my handmade, signature “Tribal Sci Fi” inspired looks have reached so many that I never thought was possible. With all this, I have finally been granted the time and space to move my commercial studio from downtown LA to a much more private home studio. Returning to nature after many years away is what my heart is now longing for over the hustle & bustle of urban surroundings from SF to LA, which I have surrounded myself with since starting OM in 1999.
I am eternally grateful to now be able to share and expand my work force outside of downtown, LA. I now have sewing assistants to help me with the production sewing on the east side, while I am surrounded by the beauty from the ocean to canyons to inspire and motivate me to design & create on the west side.
My main focus now is to continue to grow while nurturing my “gypsy” spirit and taking +OM+ on the road through the Renaissance Faire circuit. I'm most passionate about bringing my wares to you within my enchanting, bedouin tent atmosphere I've created for the Faire most specifically. You can find out my show schedule via my website (www.opalmoondesigns.net) or via FB (https://www.facebook.com/OpalMoonDesigns).
As an alternative, I also offer private, home studio appointments available for bridal, and custom costume fittings. You can email me to discuss your initial ideas and from there we can schedule an appointment to meet in person.
Please email me for custom inquiries and/or a private appointment:

Thank you friends, for your continued patronage after so many years!
With sincere gratitude,

Accepted payment methods
- Accepts Etsy gift cards
Payment
I no longer accept checks or money orders.
Shipping
U.S. shipping via USPS Priority Mail starts at $8.00 per item. International shipping varies, but averages between $12.00-48.00 USD per item depending on destination country & total weight of garment(s).
I ship all domestic orders via USPS PRIORITY MAIL most often within 1-3 business days of receiving your confirmed payment (as long as the item is in stock). Included is delivery confirmation so that you may have a tracking number for your package. It will be included with the shipping notification I send to you through Etsy.
NOTES:
**If the item you purchased is not in stock and I have to make it for you, please expect lead times to be up to 6 weeks, depending on the work flow at the time.
**I am not responsible for packages gone "missing" once I have shipped with tracking through Priority Mail. It will be your responsibility to track the package if any issues should arise.
**I do not ship on the weekends.
NEW POLICY ON INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
Now all International & Canada orders are also shipped with USPS PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL MAIL. Items are best trackable in the US when shipped this way, along with less risk of loss via the customs form # once it reaches your country. Shipping costs a bit more for PRIORITY MAIL, however it has been my experience that it is more reliable than first class mail. Also, you can expect a quicker delivery within 6-10 days time.
*Please understand I am not responsible for missing packages and/or lost garments once it has left the USA.
FROM MY HANDS TO YOURS:
Rest assured your package will ship from a clean & magical fantasy land (my studio) and directly from my hands to yours. Adorned in fanciful tissue paper, it should arrive to you unruffled & with minimal handling.
Refunds and Exchanges
If you receive any garment or accessory not to your liking and/or fit, you may exchange items for another item in my shop or a store credit (minus the cost of shipping) within 7 days *from initial shipping date*. If any item I create does not fit you properly, they can also be exchanged within 7 days with all tags intact and no signs of being worn by any means. I'm sorry, but there are absolutely no refunds unless you receive an item in true error, and/or find any flaws not disclosed by either the item description or photos.
RETURNS TO ME: Please ship via USPS Priority Mail (which includes free tracking) to: This way, it is guaranteed to reach me and in minimal time. I will then ship your exchange garment to you once I've received it.

All custom orders are FINAL sale and there are no refunds on custom orders. Lead times to complete are anywhere from 1-4 weeks on average, but can take up to 2 or 3 months depending on the design and my workload at the present time (especially if employed to design a film and am on location during that time). Thanks so much for your patience in advance.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
I am happy to consider custom orders depending on the design and workload. I do charge for the additional time it will take me to do the work you are requesting. Once the order and initial deposit payment has been made and the work has begun, there are no refunds or returns are permitted what so ever. Please convo me to start a discussion.
Sizing details
I am happy to help you with sizing questions at any time. Send your measurements if you have any concerns with the garments fit. I will reply quickly and suggest a size for you and/or offer another garment design that may fit you better. Either way, I will only sell you a garment that I know will fit you beautifully.
Care instructions
Please note the *CARE section in my items listing. Most of my garments use unique and specialty fabrics which are not machine washable. This ruins not only the form of the garment, but also the fibers when mixed with water and friction of the washing process. Most (such as tapestries, velvets, brocades, and jacquards) and are Dry Clean Only.
Some more delicate pieces (like laces, crochets, and knits) with trims and fringes may be hand washed only. Please check each listing before buying and caring for your garment. Feel free to convo me with any questions regarding this. I am happy to help you ahead of time and don't want your garment to get ruined by any means.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Upon ordering any garment, I ship it wrapped in clean and fanciful tissue paper. It is guaranteed to deliver to you in perfect condition without any flaws or damage. If there is anything you may find that appears to be damaged or construction flaws , please contact me immediately. I will not accept exchanges to items that have been received for 3 days or more without any correspondence.
Wholesale availability
I do accept Wholesale Orders. The order must be a minimum of $1000. You are allowed any quantity/size/color assortment of each design, with a minimum of 3 pieces of each design. Please convo me for more info.
