From the reviews

All I can say is Awesomeness. I am a Cato Shop Alcoholic. I can't stop myself from shopping at Cato. They have quality clothing and most of the time I find what I'm looking for. If they are out of a particular item, the salesperson will walk around with me and assist me with finding an alternative piece.

I hadn’t been to Cato’s in a while - and honestly, I don’t know why I stopped going. There’s so much good stuff in there for great prices. It’s definitely giving work attire - and since I don’t go into the office anymore, I haven’t really needed that style.

Cato does a great job employing great staff members. They are always cordial and helpful. The stores are always clean and organized. I appreciate this high demonstration of pride on every visit; it never goes unnoticed.

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.
