From the reviews

First time shopping at Cato's. As soon as I opened the door I felt like I had a personal shopper the store clerk was named juli not only was helpful with my shopping experience she was very kind and not only that I can't wait to bring my sister here to shop I highly recommend this place to shop for all sizes Thanks…

Love shopping here. I always look at clearance first. I usually get my boots here because they have wide shoe sizes.

★★★★★ — Ruby, Sep 2022

Love going here. Clothing is a little different in style for plus sizes. Would not purchase dresses.

★★★★★ — April, Apr 2021

I love Cato's. I have shopped there for decades. My mother bought some of my school clothes there. They have regular and plus sizes and plenty of both. If you like sale merchandise, there's always a clearance rack. They have reasonably priced costume jewelry as nice as any department 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.
