Catherines used to provide a welcome alternative to the boring clothes made for plus sized women in a boutique setting. Now they seem to be another Lane Bryant catalogue offshoot. There is an overabundance of clothing made from synthetic fibers. The prints are large and the colors are drab. The staff remains extremely friendly and helpful. This is a good place for casual and working women's plus size clothlng but is no longer the place for clothes for professional women.
