The Dress

The Jane Hill Airlie Gown was my dream dress, classic but also glam. I must have tried on 200 dresses before coming across this dress. I felt amazing in it. I was married in March 2024. I got changed before our first dance, so it was worn for around 6 hours.

DESCRIPTION: The Jane Hill Airlie gown is sleek and figure-hugging. I purchased the "natural" colour (which has the ivory/white underlay). The gown has classic square neckline that accentuates the female frame. It has intricate beading, sequins with delicate embroidered patterns and designs. It shimmers and pops in the light, but it also quite subtle. The back of the gown is low, and it has buttons, as well as a zip from the mid back down. The dress has a subtly sweeping train, that adds a touch of drama.

SIZING: I am a standard size 10 (28 in jeans), this dress came as a size 12 and was taken in in various places. I am 172cm tall. I have usually a 10C/D or 12C in bra size. I wore 8cm heels on the day, so a lot of length to play with.

PICTURES: I have tried to include pictures of the different angles of the dress, but please message me for more! Also see https://www.janehill.com.au/airlie .

TRY ONS: Happy for try ons in Brisbane (no fake tan). The dress is currently being dry cleaned and will be available early April.

PRICE: I purchased this dress for $7,200 (excluding alterations), asking price is $3,850.

Alterations

There were around $1,100 in alterations including taking up the straps, taking in sides (ribs and hips), adding bustle for train, adding two bra cups (which can be removed easily), taking in the back to make the butt more fitted, and taking up the hem.
