From the reviews

I love shopping at Cato's. The staff there always greet you with a smile and they are so professional. I believe that is because of great leadership-Tina the manager there I feel leads by example. She welcomes you and assist to make sure you find what you need and is satisfied.

★★★★★ — Gwen, Mar 2020

I love to shop for their clearance rack & treat myself to at least two outfits, not on clearance that catches my eyes. I gotta have a new bag and sandals or heels and boots! I will never forget my jewelry!💜 The employees are nice and helpful!

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.
