From the reviews

I feel like this place gets forgotten with Marshalls and TJMaxx type stores but it's not expensive and I always get comments on my clothes. They are like " really cato?!!" Oh yes!! Love ❤ ya and all the super cute fashion! Definitely recommend 👌 and the staff are really nice and helpful if you need anything.

Staff is friendly and willing to help. Clothe's are well made, affordably priced, and great selection. It has be one my favorite place to shop.

OMG!!! I have spent a ton of money trying to find the perfect bra to no avail. Today I went into Catos to just buy a couple of nice summer shirts from the clearance rack. I happened to notice a set of 2 bras for $8.99 and they were so cute.

★★★★★ — Tr, Jul 2023

I bought several items that didnt fit despite the nicest lady asking me twice if I was sure I didnt want to try them on. I went back and got the same lady (who was a manager) She walked through the store with me to find the sizes I need and ended up ordering a dress for me because they didnt have my size.

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.
