What Canberra is hiring for

Balls and galas. Canberra has more black tie events than most cities its size, from the Midwinter Ball at Parliament House to charity galas and embassy functions. Start with black tie gowns.

Race days. The Canberra Cup and the Black Opal Stakes at Thoroughbred Park, plus Melbourne Cup lunches in November. Shop race day dresses.

Weddings. Vineyard weddings in the Canberra wine district, rural venues and city celebrations. Browse wedding guest dresses.

Formals and work events. Year 12 formals, awards nights and work functions: see formal dresses and awards night dresses.

Dressing for Canberra's climate

Canberra winters are cold, so look for long sleeves, velvet and heavier fabrics for winter events, and add a coat or wrap for outdoor race days in spring.
