From the reviews

Love this place! Great people, always greeting you when you arrive. Offering assistance, but not intrusive. Have helped locate items, styles, sizes, will order or locate other locations if needed. Manager is very personalble, her team is great. Go in often just to check on new color palates, combinations and clearance.

★★★★★ — Kim, Jul 2019

Went here looking for a dress for a wedding. I found the perfect dress but in 2 sizes too small. On a whim I asked the lady at the counter if she could check the surrounding stores to see if they carried it. She did without any hesitation.

★★★★★ — Cami, Jun 2019

Great prices, great fashions! I got a wonderful yellow dress and deep blue accent jewelry to go with it. The people there were nice and very helpful.

★★★★★ — Tori, Apr 2019

Every Cato is a little different. I frequently go into this one to see what's on clearance. This is a good spot to get a "business casual" outfit.

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.
