From the reviews

I love this clothing store. I can shop on line and pick up my order after I try on the outfit. Then if I'm not satisfied with it the store clerk will assist me in getting it returned for whatever the reason I need to return it.

★★★★★ — Judith, Dec 2017

Unique, well made and reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere. I like the varieties of sizes and style does not suffer no matter the size.

★★★★★ — Nanette, Oct 2023

I love this store. I always find something every time I go in that fits perfectly. I’m 4”11 and it’s hard to find clothes that are for a more curvy woman. There shoes and boots are comfortable too. I home they keep this store open, it’s a treat to go there! The staff are super friendly.😁

★★★★★ — Caroline, Nov 2023

Lisa was amazing! She was a personal stylist for me during my shopping trip and I will definitely be back. It is hard to find quality customer service these days and she went above and beyond to help me put a style together.

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.
