From the reviews

Great store! I love the staff very helpful ! Great clothes for all sizes and shapes! Can’t think of a better place to shop!.. GOOD QUALITY CLOTHES!

★★★★★ — Martenia, May 2023

I spent some quality time yesterday at Cato's. Usually, I get frustrated when I go clothes shopping, but not this time! I appreciate Sonya for investing so much time and energy into helping me! That is something that just doesn't happen in stores anymore!

★★★★★ — Tammy, Mar 2019

I took my oldest daughter who had never shopped there. We're Pentecostal and wear skirts and dresses. She was surprised to find over $200 in clothes most of which was from the clearance section. The stuff she purchased ranged from $8.99 clearance to $25.99 reg.

★★★★☆ — Nerissa, Dec 2019

Friendly staff... The shipping department sent size 7 shoes in a size 11 box. Of course, the shoes should have been a size 11. The store clerk who was assisting with the pick up apologized and checked to see if they were still available in the right size.

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.
