★★★★★ — Ms, Nov 2025

One of my favorite places to shop! It's my go-to boutique for trendy clothing at a budget-friendly price. When I really want to save dollars, I can always find great deals in the clearance section. I buy casual clothes, clothes for work, church and gym clothing from here. There's something for everyone!

★★★★☆ — Rikesha, Jul 2018

My mom and I went on a girl's trip and the staff was very helpful and friendly. They helped my mom find everything she needed and I selected a few pieces for myself as well. We recieved great service and the prices were very reasonable. We got more than we planned. Will patron again when in the area.

★★★★★ — Tatiana, May 2023

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.
