Went to purchase an outfit for an interview. Both ladies were extremely helpful, informative, responsive to my needs and made me feel like a VIP! I found a top that I love, and saved on buying an entire outfit! I would recommend Cato to all sizes including plus-size! Check out the clearance racks as well!

I had a great time shopping today with the staff. I was provided a perfect coordinated outfit from Ms Debra. I was also provided exceptional service at the register from Miss Haley. I recommend coming here if you want a five-star shopping experience.

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.
