Solace London in Australia: Where to Buy, Sizing and What to Wear

Solace London has no store of its own in Australia, but the label is easy to buy there. When we checked on 27 October 2026, David Jones ran a Solace London brand page with dresses and bridal, the international sites list it, and Coveti carries 344 Solace London styles in UK sizes 4 to 16, from $830 to $2,910, and ships internationally. Australian sizes match UK sizes for womenswear, so a UK 10 is an AU 10. Shop the full Solace London edit, and read on for where else to buy and what to wear to the Australian occasions.

Where to buy Solace London in Australia

These are the places we could confirm on the day we checked:

  • David Jones, the department store, which runs a Solace London brand page online with dresses, bridal and mother of the bride styles.
  • The brand’s own website, solacelondon.com, which ships internationally with DHL Express in 1 to 5 working days and says its shipping charges do not include customs duties and import taxes.
  • International multi-brand sites that list the label, among them Net-a-Porter, Mytheresa and Farfetch.
  • Coveti, which stocks one of the widest Solace London ranges online, with 68 pieces from Resort 2027.

A department store page and a multi-brand site may only hold a few styles in a few sizes, and stock moves quickly. Check the exact style and size before you plan around it. Our guide to where to buy Solace London covers the UK and the US in the same way, and our guide to spotting a fake Solace London dress explains which websites are not the brand’s own.

Sizing for Australian shoppers

Australian and UK womenswear sizes line up, so the Solace London UK 4 to 16 run is AU 4 to 16. The chart below is the brand’s own body chart, in centimetres.

UK size US size EU size Bust (cm) Waist (cm) Low hip (cm)
4 0 32 80 61 90
6 2 34 82.5 63.5 92.5
8 4 36 85 66 95
10 6 38 90 71 100
12 8 40 95 76 105
14 10 42 100 81 110
16 12 44 105 86 115

Match the largest of your three measurements. On boned, low-stretch styles the brand suggests your usual size, going up one if you fall between two. The Solace London size guide has the fit notes by style.

The Spring Racing Carnival

The Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival runs through late October and early November, and each day has its own dress code. Derby Day keeps the tradition of black and white. For that, a black Solace London column with a cream wrap works, and our Solace London black dresses and white dresses guides list the options. Cup Day and Oaks Day are about colour, and a midi length is easier than a maxi on grass. The Edison midi, a strapless style with a boned bodice, comes in black, red and sage.

  • The Allyson Mini Dress in Black: a crystal embellished one shoulder mini dress with asymmetrical pleat waist detailing, in fully embellished medium weight twill.
  • The Bessette Mini Dress in Black: a minimal mini dress with adjustable spaghetti straps and a sumptuous detachable wrap, in medium weight twill with a subtle sheen.
  • The Edison Midi Dress in Black: a strapless midi dress with an asymmetric curved boned bodice and softly flared skirt with laser cut panels, in medium weight lightly textured bonded crepe combined with a lightweight satin.
  • The Gardner Mini Dress in Allium Purple: an one shoulder body conscious mini dress with a softly draped neckline and dramatic asymmetrical tie, in lightweight woven lightly textured crepe.
  • The Mansfield Midi Dress in Black: a body conscious midi dress with a soft contrasting fabric scarf and sumptuous cowl back detail, in medium weight stretch knit crepe combined with a lustrous heavy weight satin.

Weddings, formals and a summer Christmas

The Australian wedding season peaks in spring and autumn, when the weather is mild. Pale blues, soft pinks and sage suit daytime ceremonies; see our blue, pink and green guides. School formals and balls want a floor-length gown with some structure, and a strapless corseted style does that well. Christmas falls in summer, so choose lighter crepe over heavy satin, and a shorter length for an outdoor party; our Christmas party guide sorts the range by length.

Renting versus buying

Renting suits a one-off event in a colour you will not wear again. A close-cut, boned gown cannot be altered when it is rented, though, so for a dress that must fit exactly, buying is safer. Our guide to renting versus buying Solace London weighs it up.
