From the reviews

Love their clothes in Decatur, Al. Associates are very friendly and helpful. One question: why don't you carry your cute pants in petite? Your pants are at least 6" too long and there are some really cute outfits. Once more, love Catos in Decatur, Al.

Cato's has always been one of my favorite woman clothing stores to shop at. Always clean and a decent selection of clothing all year round.

I LOVE Catos fashions.i also love their jewelry and their prices! The manager named Nancy in the Decatur Alabama store is wonderful and so helpful without being pushy I seldom am able to find clothes I like anywhere else.

★★★★★ — Nancy, Aug 2020

Friendly, well organized. Great service and prices. Very nice helpful. If they don't have it will try to locate it in the website and order it in for you. Have shopped there many times and will be going back again for more.

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.
