From the reviews

Cato has something for everyone's taste. They have so many beautiful clothes, shoes, jewelry, handbags. Along with other things. And they're prices are so reasonable. Every time I go in Cato's, I come out with three or more items. The associate there today and yesterday was so friendly. Easy to talk to.

The clerk who waited on me was very patient and it showed me a few items after I showed her a picture of the dress that I was trying to find a sweater or shawl or something to go with it to attend a wedding she is very patient and never pushed a sale.

★★★★★ — Alicia, Nov 2022

Large selection of clothing, shoes, purses and fashion accessories to choose from. Really great clearance deals. Very friendly staff . Clean changing rooms . If you don't find what you need here , you really aren't looking. Highly recommend stopping in Catos on Williams Street.

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.
