“Clean store, and friendly staff”

From the reviews

The store is very clean. The dressing rooms are closed now because of Covid-19. But there is a 60 day return policy with your receipt. My mom and I wear close sizes, so we just switch outfits. I sprayed all my clothes with Fabric Sanitizer before hanging up. But I will wash them before wearing.

★★★★★ — Miko, Sep 2020

I love this store The sales people are never pushy and when you need help trying to find the right outfit they are always on the mark.

★★★★★ — Dr, May 2024

This store is a lot bigger than most but I had 2 great sales associates that helped me so much! I also heard them helping others as well. They even stayed after closing to help me finish selecting clothes.

Plus size bridal & formal at Cato Fashions

Cato Fashions 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.
