From the reviews

I had a great experience with Ciara today at Cato Bloomington IN ! She was super helpful and I walked away with a pair of jeans I didn’t have to return! Thank you so much!

I was greeted and asked what was a looking for. I said a pair of work pants and described my particular set of challenges in finding a pair to fit me properly. The store clerk showed me a pair that she recommended. They were a bit big so the second sales clerk found me a smaller size! Perfect fit!

CATO is amazing. Great place to find a last min outfit that is inexpensive. The clearance prices are awesome and have such a great selection. I have become a regular shopper. The staff is very friendly. Overall environment is warm and inviting. You won't be disappointed.

Really nice store with really nice people. Everyone always greets you with a smile and makes sure they ask if you need anything or if they can help you find anything. They are always available to get you a fitting room and are happy to get you a different size if needed.

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.
