First off as a women that has problems finding clothes that fit my curvy shape and worth the price amazing the ladies are perfect and made me feel so comfortable and confidant and gave me there honest opinions on what i tried on i highly recommend them defiantly will return

★★★★★ — Sierra, Feb 2019

I like Cato. They have a good variety of sizes and their prices aren't too bad. If you can get in on the day new arrivals come, you can get some nice new things. I'd like to see more varieties and lower prices. Wouldn't we all.

★★★★★ — Julie, Feb 2020

Staff was wonderful. The jewelry I purchased lost some stones and they immediately let me exchange it. I wish all stores had staff that pleasant.

★★★★☆ — Missourigirl, Mar 2020

Cute clothes. Great prices. I often forget Cato is there as the location is kind of awkward. I'm going to try harder to remember it's there as the prices are worth it

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.
