From the reviews

Many clearance items from which to choose. Clothing for a variety of occasions. They sell plus sizes too.

★★★★★ — Linda, Jun 2024

Love, love this place! Some items can be pricey, but when they start marking down prices, heck yah! Staff is friendly and most will tell you how you really look in something. Not just "You look great in that shirt 2 sizes too small", just to make a sale! I'm a regular customer!

★★★★★ — Jaci, Dec 2023

I had an exceptional shopping experience at the Republic location. The store was in perfect condition, the clothes were sized, and the associate Brittany that helped me went above and beyond. Keep up the good work!

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.
