Lots of clearance, beautiful clothing options and the staff is not on you bugging you while you are shopping. When we seek for assistance the ladies were very accommodating and provided options to complement the pieces I already selected Great experience

Beautiful clothes and accessories keeping up with modern trends. I love it that they have a plus size section all to itself. They also carry regular sizes of course and they have petite.

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.
