From the reviews
I am OBSSESSED with Akira. My go to for any occasion. Jess always treats me so well and helps me find outfits I love. Cely helped me today after Jess left and she opened my mind out to new colors and styles. Love the staff everyone is so welcoming and genuinely nice.
My favorite place to shop for statement pieces at a great price. The weekly sales, the great size range, the unique pieces, the organization ✨, and always super chill and ready to help associates makes this Akira my fav to shop at.
Every time I shop at this location the customer service is excellent. Today and on previous visits Tally assisted me by setting my fitting room and finding outfits and clothes. She is great about asking the occassion/event and what look I'm going for. Once she has that info she goes to work!
The best store in the mall 🤍 The staff is very kind and welcoming, especially Nick — special thanks to him! We stayed a bit past closing time, and no one rushed us or even mentioned they were closed. They kindly waited until we finished our shopping. It was very sweet and left such a great impression.
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.
