From the reviews

Petal Cato well this store is like none of the other! The lady that manages the store has such away of pairing outfits that make you think your 20 years younger!!! All the pretty spring colors and popular little jeans to wear with some of the cutest I mean adorable shirts.

I love Cato Fashions, I’ve shopped Cato since it was located in the old shopping center by the old Sunflower, in Petal, nearly 40 years ago. I even won one of the door prizes (drawings) on Opening Day there, which was a complete outfit, that I wore to my sister’s wedding.

I love shopping here, I get greeted as soon as I’m seen by an associate and the staff is so friendly! I’ve never had a bad experience with these fine ladies, even if I’m being a little complicated lol. Anyways, it’s a great shopping experience, great atmosphere.

It's been a while since I've shopped at Cato but when I went in today I only looked around for a minute knowing what I came in for and an employee asked if I needed help.

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.
