From the reviews

I don’t meet high energy people on a regular. But baby listen when I say we stepped into the theatrical stage. The sales men was flawless and he was getting me together for a night on the town. He said what you like and it was off to the races. I had a dressing room and 15 sets to try on.

I had so much fun in this store! For a little while I had been intimidated to go in just because the clothes looked cool and stylish... I had assumed that The vibes would be weird when I walked in...AND I WAS WRONG! As a plus sized girly I was surprised to see that they did carry some extended sizes in the store.

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.
