From the reviews

Great clothing store for women of all sizes. Their staff is very helpful and friendly. They get a new truck every Monday, so Tuesday afternoon is the best time to get there so you can browse the new selections in all available sizes. They have clearance racks, with really good prices.

I have been a Cato shopper for a very long time. I love their clothes and styles. They have unique items. Their clothes will last a long time. You can basically get your entire outfit in Cato.. I enjoy shopping at the Fredericksburg store. I have a good time with the staff and other customers.

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.
