★★★★★ — Rooha, Jul 2025

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!! The ladies are always so nice and so helpful! I went there yesterday and was greeted by every employee and every single employee was smiling the entire time and you could tell they were genuinely happy. The best thing about this place though was that THE DRESSING ROOMS ARE OPEN.

★★★★★ — Amber, May 2021

They always have cute things for women from professional to fun. Great if you would like to dress like an adult but not dowdy. Organized by color themes for ease of mixing and matching. If they don't have your size, they can order it for you and have it shipped free to the store. Highly recommended.

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.
