From the reviews
This store is absolutely incredible. Visiting there to shop for a bachelorette party, I was helped by a LOVELY associate named Morgan. She was incredibly awesome, and they allow you to try on as many things as you want at a time and Morgan was taking stuff back to the dressing room for me as I was shopping.
I had a ball in this store. My sister brought me in to find an outfit for Cowboy Carter, and Trey was absolutely amazing. I usually HATE shopping, especially in malls, but between Trey and my sister they made it a great time.
I have never had such a pleasant shopping experience! As a person with high anxiety and HATES shopping, I dread every single time I have to go find an outfit. Alishia was so kind and helpful and styled such a cute outfit for me that I never would have been able to piece together myself!
I was having a bad day trying to find a cute plus size outfit and was feeling very down on myself. I came in here and had the absolute best experience i could ask for. When i came in Alishia greeted me and asked what i was looking for. I explained what i was struggling with and she smiled and got me a stylist.
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.
