From the reviews

Today I visited Cato in Ruston and I found 2 nice dresses and a pair of shoes ..Well I found a nice dress on the clearance rack and when I was checking out the dress on clearance was supposedly accidentally marked down and they refused to sell it marked down..

Can't give a 5 star rating because it's a hit and miss with their service and their quality of the products offered. If they are not careful they're going to out price themselves. Quality of the product doesn't match the price in my opinion.

★★★★☆ — Laura, Aug 2018

I use to shop at Cato’s Department years ago until I move to another state and this type of store wasn’t in my area. I had a surprise gift from a friend with two items for the spring. I am so excited. Very pretty, stylish and appealing to me. Customer service and the hours of operation is a go.

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.
