From the reviews

This is my favorite place to clothes shop. They have great fashion at great prices and can't be beat. The staff here are awesome and very professional and social able. They have sizes for regular and petite sizes and also plus sizes.

★★★★★ — Tina, Dec 2022

I took my sister and niece to get some new clothes. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They have a great selection of clothes and accessories. I think this is an excellent place to shop for woman's clothing. They sell gift cards so men get you wives or girlfriends a gift card and score brownie points with them.

I love Roya She is the manager and I have been shopping with her for 20 years I am sure . Well sense the store first opened. She is alway's dressed to the "nine's" and looks like a magazine cover. it makes you want to dress like she does. She is accommodating and sincerely friendly.

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.
