From the reviews
I love, love, love this place. Tyler & Vinny really go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need and/or get you fly with an outfit if you aren’t even sure where to begin. The ladies are also just as bubbly and polite! The whole crew was really kind and have great personalities.
This was a fabulous experience! The store was extremely neat and organized. The staff was super fun, knowledgeable, and willing to go out of their way to help. The vibe between the music, and the employees having fun working as a team together was unmatched.
Chantal was incredible - she was so sweet and so attentive . My wife and I had a BALL in here . the music was fantastic, the store was clean . We spent almost 3 hours in here . 10/10 for me, specifically because Chantal was bending over backwards for us!!!
I took my daughter here for a Sweet 16 outfit and must say the customer service was impeccable! Fun, friendly, helpful staff from the stylists right down to the cashier. Vinny was amazing!!!! The music and whole vibe of this store is on point. Stylish, great quality clothing for a great price.
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.
