I love Cato clothing. They have really good quality clothing for people of all sizes. I love the staff there. They come around and check on people in the fitting rooms and will go pick a shirt out in a different size if needed. They also give amazing recommendations for events you might be shopping for.

The store is so amazing. It is clean and absolutely beautiful. The clothes are so shockingly fabulous and so affordable I was so glad to visit again. This time, my teenage daughter went shopping for a dress and found several even though she is a little picky. Omg, the jewelry is amazing, well made, and so affordable.

I accidentally left my dress at home. Found this Cato on the way to Virginia. They were super awesome!! They treated me like I was someone important. Left with a beautiful blouse/skort combo that got rave reviews. Thank you Cato on Clinton Highway, you really helped me!! You are all so nice!!

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.
