I give this store a 5 star rating, in the last few weeks their hours have been regular Monday-Saturday 10-7 and Sunday 1-6. The store is under new management. They have changed up the way they display their clothes, and accessories making it easier to shop for what you are looking for. The staff is helpful and kind.

I see there aren’t any recent or updated reviews here. So adding mine based on recent experiences. It’s a Nice store, with decent fashions, (when they are opened that is).

★★★★☆ — Melissa, Sep 2022

A fun clothing store. Unfortunately, for little ladies, the Plus size selection has increased more than Petites.Not prejudice by any means, just pointing out that it's no longer as available for Petites.Nevertheless, a truly nice up to date selection of items.

★★★★☆ — Edeltraud, Aug 2018

I always enjoy shopping there. I always find what I need with a good fit. Sales staff are among, if not the Best in and around. They actually have CUSTOMER Service. Happy to assist you. But do not pressure you. I have shopped Catos for years..S. C., Missouri, & Georgia. Their service is second to none.

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.
