What's on the racks
“I wanted a birthday dress and this store did not have it but she helped me order it from another store and get it mailed to me.”
What shoppers say again and again
“I came late when the store was about to close and they still patiently helped me find what I needed.”
“HOWEVER, they’re currently running a bonkers sale where they have lots of pretty good deals and some absolutely beautiful and unique things.”
From the reviews
Came here for the first time looking for a birthday outfit for my sister. After not finding anything anywhere we stumbled upon this store and my sister immediately fell in love. We drove about an hour to this mall. Wanted to give a special shout-out to “Z” for helping us out!
Sooooo……. It took me a minute to write this review. Ladies and Gentleman you MUST make an appointment for a personal stylist!! This appointment was to celebrate my 55Th Birthday. Jennifer greeted me with an energetic smile and physical excitement - Jennifer say “Relax and keep an open mind”. She was correct.
Firstly, I do think the prices are a little high for some lower quality items. HOWEVER, they’re currently running a bonkers sale where they have lots of pretty good deals and some absolutely beautiful and unique things.
I had never visited an Akira store as I always order online....Well!!!! I have been missing the FIRE!! THIS STORE IN PARAMUS IS LIT!! If you like Fashion with an edge, then you must visit! MICHAEL WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST STYLIST EVER!!
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.
