From the reviews

It was my first time at this store and I absolutely loved it. I wish I had more time to look through more outfits and accessories. I forgot the associate that helped me with putting outfits together but she was amazing.. Thanks so much 🙏🏾

Customer service was excellent. Check out was quick. Fitting room and store clean. Difficult to find any clothing in any size that was displayed on the mannequins. Associates friendly and even went the extra mile to look thru the store on the mannequins for a necklace I was wanted.

Had to return a pair of pants I ordered online, cashier had set a pair back for me 3 sizes smaller than the ordered one and she was spot on ! They fit perfect. Thank you to her and your store for providing a nice selection for us big beautiful women ...

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.
