From the reviews

Love shopping at that store. The manager there is so friendly and after shopping there for years she knows what styles you like. Very friendly sales staff also. Such a cute selection of things you don't find in other stores.🤗

I love their sales here!! I needed some suggestions about an outfit and the sales lady was WONDERFUL!! I am not a fan of the manager?? who can be quite snippy but I do love the fashions and up to date styles!!

★★★★☆ — Johanna, Jun 2018

Love the clothes. But why are ALL of the shoe sizes sooo large? Why no size 6-7's & also, get some gauze summer pants in stock.

★★★★★ — Mary, Sep 2019

Store was clean. Customers and staff were wearing their mask. Following CDC guidelines. Excellent customer service.

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.
