The Lowdown #2: Bari Jay

Bari Jay is all about glamour. They have simple styles too, but most of their line is a little on the daring side, not your “typical bridesmaid.” If you are looking for long chiffon dresses, they have some very elegant options, also some great short and sassy styles. Overall they tend towards a more formal, evening look.
One downside to the line as a whole is that the fabrics don’t have quite as much variety for color, especially compared with many other bridesmaids lines. That’s not to say that Bari Jay doesn’t offer options, but where another designer might have 60 satin colors they’ll have 30. They do have some colors that can be hard to find- for instance a very mustardy yellow- called “Mustard!,” and also a green called “Forest” that is kind of leafy, not dark, not too bright. I’m a fan!
Recently Bari Jay started what they call their “White” line, which is bridal. We don’t carry it through Netbride, but it’s basically bridesmaids as wedding gowns. Nothing too tremendous. A lot of their other bridesmaids styles can come in white or ivory, but not all. It's a little confusing!
Bari Jay does make junior styles to match some, not all of its bridesmaids dresses. Like most junior maids lines, they modify the styles so that they appropriate for younger girls. The styles they do for juniors tend to be the simpler, more classic ones for obvious reasons.
So, if you are going for an elegant evening look, or want something really interesting (like a one shoulder with one long sleeve), check out Bari Jay!
