From the reviews

Lack of jeans and small section for plus sizes. Cheap earrings! But also... Cheap earrings. Lol don't buy the shoes I'd you plan on walking in them. But usually great stuff and deals. Good clearance racks

I have gained so much weight and am so uncomfortable with my body that I absolutely hate shopping. I am always able to find something I like at Cato though. I am so excited to wear my new outfit!

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.
