★★★★★ — Cathi, Oct 2017

I love Cato. The clothes are well made, true to fit sizing, well coordinated, contemporary and classic, and very well cut/proportion. I'm a fat woman who doesn't want to look like I'm wearing "fat lady" clothes such as mumus, tents, or deceased parachutes. Cato's clothes are sharp and flattering.
