This was my first trip to a Cato Fashions and I was very happy! They have a great selection and the quality of the clothing is great. The store is extremely organized and clean making finding the right size easy. The staff was welcoming, friendly and efficient. They could run a class on customer service!

★★★★★ — Michelle, Sep 2025

I love this store I can always find clothing that i like. I am a plus size girl and I wear nothing but skirts and dresses long and I’m guaranteed to find at least one or two during each season. Modesty is very important to me, so I thank God for Cato Fashion.

★★★★★ — Me, Sep 2023

Sells a large range of sizes from juniors to plus sized women's clothing. Styles are trendy/conservative. Good quality clothing at a reasonable price. The store was neatly organized and clean but a little cramped. Employee was friendly.

★★★★★ — Crystal, Nov 2025

Both of the ladies on shift 2/9/19 where great and helped me pick out some fabulous shoes , boots and dresses. I will definitely return to this store because they were an AWESOME example of a great customer service experience!!!

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.
