WOW! I loved almost every outfit, and they have a great assorted sizes, from Juniors to plus size women. The style of close was dressy and also casual. Their prices aren't bad at all. You can also buy shoes and they are so pretty! You can buy a nice dress for thirty-five bucks!

★★★★★ — Michelle, Jul 2020

Love the clothes and quality, have only had good experiences with customer service. And they carry PLUS sizes which I LOVE! Sometimes it's not easy to find the perfect fit when yo are in between sizes or are curvy. I also like that they offer layaway.

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.
