About Runaway The Label

Runaway The Label is a Sydney label whose in-house team designs trend-led dresses for going out and dressing up: floor-length maxis, midis and minis. Expect halter and high necklines, lace, sequins, corset bodices, ruffles and thigh splits. The label says it takes its cues from street style, social media and the runway.

How it fits. Runaway sets fit style by style. Most styles are listed as true to size, some are cut relaxed and a few run small. Our product notes give each style's lining, stretch and length, so read them before you choose a size.

Sizing. Runaway's chart runs from XXS to XXXL (AU 4 to 18) and uses body measurements, with the hip taken at the low hip. Compare yours with the Runaway size guide.

Who it suits. The maxis suit weddings, school formals and black-tie nights; the minis suit cocktail parties, birthdays and festive season events.

Questions about Runaway The Label

Does Runaway The Label run true to size?

Most Runaway styles are listed as true to size, but the label sets fit style by style, and a few styles run small or are cut relaxed. Read the fit notes on the style you like, then check your bust, waist and low-hip measurements against the Runaway size guide. Torn between two sizes? Message us before you order.

How does Runaway sizing compare with Nookie?

Both labels match XS to XL with AU 6 to 14, but their charts are built differently. Runaway gives one measurement per size and takes the hip at the low hip; Nookie gives a range for each size and designs for a snug, stretchy fit. A Runaway S is listed at bust 86, waist 68 and low hip 96 cm, while a Nookie S covers bust 82–87, waist 64–69 and hip 97–102 cm. Check each label's chart in our size guide.

What occasions suit Runaway The Label?

The floor-length maxis, in lace, corset, halter and high-neck styles, suit weddings, school formals and black-tie events. The sequin, lace and ruffle minis suit cocktail parties, birthdays and the festive season.

What fabrics does Runaway use, and how should I care for them?

Mostly polyester and nylon, sometimes with spandex for stretch; the fibre content is listed on each style. Runaway's advice is to follow the care label in each piece. Treat lace and sequin styles gently and keep them away from rough surfaces, which can snag them.
