From the reviews

I might be a guy, so I am a little out of place when going to Cato, but they have some of the best clothing choices of any retailer. They stock things like jean skirts, something that my girls love, and the prices I love even more because they don't take your wallet.

★★★★★ — R.A., Oct 2021

Staff very friendly in eager to help. Good selection for younger people. In my opinion only close are not geared towards the older crowd such as myself

★★★★☆ — Maxine, May 2024

A great, small shop. Nice selection, reasonable prices. The Old-fashioned personal shopping support is refreshing and useful.

★★★★★ — Susan, Mar 2019

Great prices, good quality, good selection, very friendly staff. One of the few places left to find fashionable plus sizes.

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.
