From the reviews

I stopped by Cato's to find some Navy tights and Black Tights. I didn't find Navy Tights in my size, but I did find black tights. I also found a black bra, two camis, two pairs of black dress socks, a white button down top and a cute pair of earrings.

Great selections and friendly staff. It would be helpful to carry more shoe sizes for women 10 & 11. And wide shoe sizes. Or to have a stock room in back to pull from once merchandise is emptied on the racks.

★★★★★ — Laronda, Oct 2022

I love going to Cato's... I usually find something cute and comfortable. The service is always great and I love their clothes, shoes and accessories. Right now, I guess with the COVID 19 going on, their dressing rooms are not available.

★★★★★ — Sherri, Sep 2020

I always enjoy Cato at the University location. They have a wide variety of selection to choose from and they have a good mix of both work blouses and everyday wear tops.

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.
