From the reviews

My favorite go to place to shop for whatever occasion and the prices are great... The staff makes you feel very comfortable and welcome. Rhonda invited me to sponsor breast cancer awareness my month. This was my very first time I truly enjoyed the whole day and connected with some amazing women.

Great visit the sales associate helped her clients make better choices on matching an outfit for a special Church function. She was very sincere and dedicated to her job. We talked one on one about my visit to the area. I left the store with a smile. Thanks

I'm only rating the College Drive location, NOT the others, friendly staff, know their merchandise, if not in stock there, will check to see if another store has it. Greet you coming in and going out. Side bar the Baker, La store is good to shop in also.

★★★★★ — Joycetta, May 2023

I love this store. Always friendly staff willing to help you out putting things together, giving suggestions. Nice clothing for the full figured lady at very reasonable prices. Quite frankly I prefer not to shop anywhere else but Cato's.

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.
