From the reviews

Antoinette (so sorry if I spelled her name wrong) was lovely and made sure I had a great shopping experience this evening. She greeted me and asked if I needed help, to which I did and she walked around the store to help me find the right pants.

★★★★★ — Vanessa, Aug 2025

Super helpful and helped me locate some fabulous items. Got some at regular price and some on clearance- yay! Even offered to call other locations to help find item I wanted in different size and color.

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.
