From the reviews

My wife and I were in the store just killing time. I saw a dress that I really liked. I was not going to let my wife leave without getting it. She tried it on and I loved how it looked on her. The woman who helped us was great. We were a little low on money so we asked about layaway.

My sister was getting married and my other sister and I went there looking for dresses and jewelry. Well, I can't tell you enough on how awesome the staff was there. They had us trying on some beautiful dresses on their spring line. They made the day and my sisters wedding awesome!! Thank you Cato

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.
