From the reviews

I love "my Hattiesburg" Cato. The employees are so helpful and sweet. About 2 weeks ago I went in to purchase a pair of pants. They did not have what I was looking for but, I did have several selections so I went to the checkout. The lady in front of me paid $30 on my purchase. So I was led to pay it forward.

I needed a dress for tomorrow, but was at work. Aniah was so kind and helpful. She shopped over the phone with me and had it ready for my husband to pick up. ThankS

★★★★★ — Sew, Dec 2025

Great customer service. If you're looking for an outfit this is the place to go. The service is great and they'll help you find the perfect outfit.

★★★★★ — Juanita, Feb 2017

Surprised at how many tops I liked. A little pricey but the quality and customer service is worth it. Better pricing than Layne Bryant and Torrid.

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.
