From the reviews

Sometimes you can find good markdowns...They always have a good selection of clearance on the jewelery..

★★★★☆ — Tiffany, Mar 2020

I usually order everything online which I love! It doesn't take long to receive & I've never returned anything which speaks volumes. I actually went shopping with my best friend & we stopped by Cato's, of course I didn't leave empty handed!

★★★★★ — Kim, Jul 2024

Always friendly customer service, organized merchandise, and clean store. This is probably my favorite location between the couple of Cato stores around the Tuscaloosa area.

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.
