K Barketti; a Bayview Village favourite moves to the Eglinton Way

K Barketti is the type of place that those of us in our thirties and younger might over look.

The tailored separates and mother of the bride suits and gowns speak to an older generation.

But I was pleasantly surprised when I looked through all the dresses that range in styles from full gowns to short and form fitting; there is definitely something here for me too.



The front half of the Eglinton Ave shop is filled with separates that range from day, work appropriate to a night function or wedding guest attire.

All of the pieces are classic lines and tailored silhouettes. While a young girl could easily rock any of the outfits, they are most likely to appeal to a more mature clientel.



Where I could see shopping at K.Barketti is at the back of the store. Where the evening dresses range from sexy form fitting numbers to gowns and bridal party appropriate dresses.

This shop is all about women's special occasion dresses. And not just one type of woman either.

I can easily see the mother of the bride (or grandmother for that matter) finding an amazingly chic outfit.

Or I can see a fashion froward teen find the best prom dress ever.

Sizes also range unto 28, so girls looking for plus size special occasion dresses don't have to settle for something matronly.

There are a number of designers, some that are exclusive to the K.Barketti stores. Look for Joseph Ribkoff and Velika K. Both are designers making their clothing in Canada the former is exclusive to K.Barketti.



There are two locations for this boutique. One is at Square One in Mississauga, the second is in Toronto on the Eglinton Way.

The Eglinton Avenue location replaces the long standing shop at Bayview Village.
