★★★★★ — Cynthia, Jan 2020

From the time I walked though the door until I was leaving I had an amazing experience. I was greeted by Nancy and checked out by Abby. Amazing customer service. They did not have the dress in stock that I needed and they got right on the phone and called to another store to put it on hold!!!! Thank you ladies so much!

★★★★★ — T, Sep 2018

I stopped by to see if I could find something to wear to a wedding. They were so helpful and sweet! They brought me different combinations to try until I found a total look I liked.....including shoes and earrings. Thank you so much!

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.
