From the reviews

Meagan was a great help with my shopping for jeans. I went in to buy 2 new pairs and ended up with 4.

★★★★★ — Cyndi, Mar 2019

Big fan of Cato! Love that they have a wide range of sizes and that they sell jeans without rips (they have ripped ones too, I just don't like that style). They are very reasonably priced, and the employees are always super friendly (but they don't hover, which is good)!

★★★★★ — Renee, May 2023

I love this store!! Went in originally to shop for Granddaughters but also fell in love with their clothes for myself, too! It is now my go to store. I love the staff, the location, the prices and the styles!

★★★★★ — Judy, Jul 2021

Love this store and the staff are great too. My favorite is the clearance racks and always feel like I walk out with a ton of clothes for not much money.

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.
