From the reviews

I can always find something I want in Catos. They are so reasonably priced and are always having items marked down that you can't say no to. Went in to find my play daughter something for her birthday and found the perfect little purple boots for her, the last pair on the shelf, and in her size for $20!

We don't have much to choose from in Granite as far as fashion goes which makes me appreciate Cato so much. They have so much to offer at decent prices and having layaway is the cherry on top! Not to mention the staff is second to none!

Customer service was excellent! Bargain galores. The largest Cato store I've ever visited, with lots of selections!! And I've been to plenty of Cato stores. Will visit next year when I return to St. Louis for our church convention!!

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.
