From the reviews

I ❤Catos! Not gonna lie...I go IN for the phenomenal clearance...which they know, cause then I typically go OUT with several/many clearance items & at least one full price item! Lol Their clothes are mostly true to size, so you CAN buy without trying on...but their customer service (Oakville MO store shout out to Mary!

★★★★★ — Kat, Jan 2024

I am always greeted with a friendly "hello". They have really nice and attentive employees. The store is always clean and organized. They offer a variety of sizes including plus size. The price point is comparable to Target. I enjoy shopping here!

★★★★★ — Gina, Jan 2018

I love going to this location, but I do have to say that the selections of this last visit were looking a bit like a very much older women's clothing store. I do hope they switch up the selections soon because I usually like the different varieties they normally have.

★★★★☆ — Tonja, May 2023

I like going here because it small and it's great customer service. If for some odd reason there is something you like and they don't have it in your size they will order for you. I am done with malls.

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.
