From the reviews
This is such a fun place to get women's clothes. The store is separated into two sections. Half is for regular sized clothes and the other for plus size clothes. Since I shop the latter, I'm happy to say the plus sized clothes are just us cute, trendy and flattering as the regular ones.
Blown away is an understatement. As a plus size individual, it’s very hard finding a store that carries my size and has very cute and trendy pieces. My jaw was on the floor the entire time. The prices are stellar and the selection is huge. This is a video of just their plus size section.
Stopped to look around. I wasn't needing anything but wanted to check out sales. I bought five new tops. They were such good prices. The staff on duty were so friendly. Very nice selection. What I like is they carry a lot of the same things for smaller sizes and plus sizes. Glad I stopped
My favorite place to shop. Disappointed in some purchases lately. Worn a few pairs of pants just once and they ripped. Otherwise I love getting stuff from here..no pressure sales and friendly staff.
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.
