From the reviews

Cato on Little Creek in Norfolk is clean and well organized. The staff was attentive but not the least bit pushy. They had sold out of what I wanted; so I'd suggest going on right away if you see an item that appeals to you

I am so glad that I found this store as well as sad because we are moving to a state that doesn't have one, California. I found a great deal on bras and found the size that I needed. It's never easy finding bras for me and I am so glad that I by chance went in.

I LOVE this store! Anytime I need something for a special occasion or just something to wear in general, I can always find it and more within a few steps into the store. All off the associates are super sweet and helpful. I love the management. The store is nice and clean, well stocked and I can always find my size.

★★★★★ — Tiffany, Dec 2017

I just love this store and the staff are amazing. The clerk (Jackie) has helped me so many times putting together outfits & accessories. She put this outfit together!! They've called other stores to check on item availability. I shop here first ❤️

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.
