Baruni: Dubai-made occasion gowns with sleeves for weddings and galas

Shopping at Baruni? See all current Baruni promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

Baruni is an occasionwear label that has been designing in Dubai since 2009. The label carries its founder's family name, and she trained at Edinburgh College of Art after an earlier career as a petroleum engineer. Most garments are made in-house in Dubai by a team of tailors, several of whom have been with the brand for more than ten years, and the label develops its own colours and custom weaves with specialist mills. Every piece is finished with a breathable lining.

The brand says its dresses are worn by women from their 30s to their 60s and beyond, for weddings, evening events, galas, mother-of-the-bride outfits, Ramadan and Eid. Almost everything has sleeves, and the look is classic rather than trend-led. Its signature is the shirt gown, which buttons up so you can adjust the coverage and put it on last without spoiling your hair or make-up.

What's worth a look

Here are six gowns from the homepage's featured designs, all at full price when we checked. Each comes in three or more colours.

The Farrah Gown at $650 is a good example of the shirt gown idea, in jacquard with elbow-length sleeves, and the Hypnotise Gown at $690 has sleeves you can detach. For something softer, the Rowan Dress is a long-sleeved wrap dress at $550, and the Alya Dress at $499 has a cape sleeve for galas.

Good to know before you buy

Sizes run from XS to XL, with free-size kaftans going up to XXL. Every garment has its own size guide, and the brand says its team confirms your measurements personally before it sends the order, which helps when you're buying a dress online for a big day. Orders leave Dubai within 24 hours and take three to five days to arrive outside the Gulf, and delivery is free on orders over $300, so every gown here qualifies.

Most Baruni pieces sit between $400 and $800, while tops and skirts start lower. There is also an outlet, where the brand says pieces are reduced by at least 40%.

Alongside the gowns, the collection includes elevated daywear, resort pieces and kaftans, and the brand says most of its kaftans are designed to be worn all year, not only during Ramadan. If you're shopping for Eid or a family wedding, it's worth browsing those as well as the featured gowns.
