From the reviews

Always love Cato and can find cute stuff at a really good price. *Also I'm LOLing at the review of the woman that "dresses down" while she shops so that people would leave her alone while shopping and is salty that no one greeted her when she walked in the store.

I love coming here, the clearance section is amazing and the staff are always great to us and friendly. I come so often I recognize most of the evening and weekend staff when I walk in. The girls there are so sweet and helpful. They're a great group and it keeps us coming back.

I was in Catos out Southridge the other day to find an outfit for an anniversary party and KIM was wonderful. She picked out a few outfits she thought would work for me and OMG. She’s awesome! I was so excited!

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.
