Alice escaped the tower on her 17th birthday. She met Robin on her birthday an unspecified amount of time later. It was probably at least a few years, sine Henry met Ella after her escape and this flashback took place after Lucy was born. However, given the theory that time is frozen in Wonderland, Alice could have been there for years and not have aged. Maybe it was her 20th birthday when she met Robin.

This still doesn't explain the time flow in NEF. Ella is clearly not in her 40s. Is there any way Alice could have experienced time differently then Ella? Are we sure Ella was 16? This also suggests that time moves slower in NEF. 17 years = 36+ years in Storybrooke. This means that Emma and Regina should have aged more than Henry, not less.
