From the reviews

Cato's clothes are of good quality and last a lifetime . They have a wide variety and an excellent look. Professional staff friendly staff wouldn't trade them for a million .Can't beat the prices which are reasonable for good quality anywhere.

Here for a funeral. Popped in to this Cato ( Western Blvd) to find the last minute things I needed for the funeral etc. Cato is always my go to place! The staff working Friday night outdid themselves.. very patient and knowledgeable helping me chose the right outfit.

My FAV place to shop! The prices are so reasonable it's hard not to walk out with several new outfits. Customer service is top notch. Returns are simple and painless with your receipt. I have shouted at CATO for over 3 decades now!

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.
