From the reviews
I think the young lady name is Kylie but she was absolutely amazing! She was extremely attentive to my needs. My sister was in a crunch to find something for her birthday party (which was in 3 hours) and we needed something in a hurry!
I just want to say Amy is the best stylist. She brought me so many unique and beautiful pieces, I was so undecided on how to put something together. I eventually got all white pieces and they look so good on me. Akira has always been my go to for my birthday outfits.
I had the pleasure of shopping here with my daughter. We were looking around and Erika walked up and was extremely nice, asked if we needed anything, what we were looking for and helped us pick sizes. She was so nice! If you are here ask for Erika and she will get you up right!
Literally my favorite store and closed half an hour before closing time, needed an outfit for tonight told me to come back tomorrow. I called management and they made sure to let me in and made me feel very welcomed. I forgot how helpful the employees here really are.
Plus size bridal & formal at AKIRA
AKIRA comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
