From the reviews

Love Cato so much!!!!! The staff members are extremely helpful, and they dont make you feel like a nuisance. The clothes are fantastic, and the plus size are actually made different from the regular sizes. I dont feel like I'm wearing a sack.

Wonderful store, WONDERFUL staff! I really enjoyed shopping here, the very sweet staff member who's name I wish I could remember even commented on all my picks as I tried everything on :)

Went for an outfit for my nieces wedding and the staff was super helpful. I normally hate clothes shopping but this was the best shopping experience I ever had.

My wife loves this place. She could spend hours just in this one store. She says Raechel is super sweet and always so helpful. She says see you soon Raechel. 😊

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.
