From the reviews

😊❤️From day one, I have had the best service I have ever had with this store. Teri the manager, treats me like I am the only one in the store and helps me fine the right piece of clothing I am in search for. Cato has the sizes for me and ..if I can't find it in the store they will order it. Can't beat that!

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.
