From the reviews

Can I just say that I love Cato! I wish they had a rewards program, but going into this store and being greeted, assisted and genuinely cared for by Amber I guess makes it better. She was such a significant help and even when needing smaller/bigger sizes was so eager to help. Thank you so much Amber.

My wife loves this place bc she can always find something either for herself( plus sz), our daughter (lrg Jr) or our grand daughter( xs Jr). It's a one stop get it all kind of place...clothes, shoes, purses, under things, & jewelry! Prices are always reasonable, and dressing rooms always clean!!

Nice staff. Good selection of pants, tops and accessories. Disappointed in the selection of dresses. The ones they had were very long and/or too revealing.

★★★★★ — Sheila, Jul 2021

First time shopping at catos as a plus sized woman and glad I decided to give it a try! The ladies tonight was kind and made me feel very welcomed. Wonderful experience. Will definitely come back soon!

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.
