I just love Alexis! Today I went in to exchange a dress I purchased for Valentine’s Day. I bought two dresses because I wasn’t sure of which to get. Of course Alexis styled me for my event that evening. Anyway, she didn’t feel well yet she had a smile on her face and was happy to help me. I just wanted to hug her.
I was really surprised, I went for there for the first time back in March and bought a pair of pants. Since then I've worn those pair of pants twice and I always get a ton of compliments on them.
Have shopped at Akira for years and this was the first location in Indiana back when they were first starting out. The staff is always helpful and store is always organized. Only downfall is location. I am so saddened at the downward slope southlake has been on.
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.
