From the reviews

I have never been able to find clothing instore that fit me until I shopped here. It was a very amazing feeling knowing I could go to almost any part of the store and something would fit me.

The store is very clean and well organized. The staff is super friendly and attentive! It is a great atmosphere and wonderful shopping experience! I will definitely be going back!!

★★★★★ — Crystal, Jul 2019

Good clothing quality. They order things that need to be in your size, that they do not have on the shelves.

★★★★★ — Kat, Aug 2019

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.
