“Love there clothes great price”

From the reviews

The Catos on Pinhook is ok, they don’t seem to have as big a selection. But the Catos on Louisiana Avenue! Their customer service is spot on, kind, polite, professional! Items are so easy to find, always neat and in place! Huge selection of more items… love, love, love this store!!!!

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.
