From the reviews

I absolutely love their clothes! They last for a long time and keep looking nice. I had to take a pair of jeans back because they were too big, when I bought them I signed up for paperless receipt which didn't come to my email, they didn't hesitate to let me exchange them for a different size.

I was down on my luck shopping for a dress or nice outfit in Wichita. I am so glad we decided to try Cato. The ladies working in there were amazing. The allowed my daughter's to try on their dresses that we had gotten at different stores to help find something for me to coordinate colors.

I love this store. I first went in to buy for my Granddaughters and ended up loving some things for me as well! It is a fantastic store. I love the staff, the location, the clothes, the styles and the prices. It has become my go to store for clothing needs. Thank you Cato!

★★★★★ — Judy, Jul 2021

Half the store is plus size and not frumpy!! Good sales and very nice staff. Only four stars because it's primarily business casual and church clothes. But if you need work clothes for reasonable price and a nice flattering style and fit, it's a solid bet you'll find something.

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.
