Sleek black, minimalist halter neckline, bare back with tie closure — The Ellison Maxi Dress by Runaway The Label is modern elegance distilled to its most confident and effortless, from R599.

Clean lines, quiet confidence, maximum impact. The high halter neckline creates an elongating, refined silhouette, while the bare back with adjustable tie closure gives the rear view a considered, sophisticated moment. Subtle ruching at the waist enhances natural shape without being excessive, and a side split provides graceful ease of movement. Soft stretch fabrication flatters across a wide size range while keeping the look sleek and polished throughout. This is the dress for rooftop dinners, black-tie events, milestone celebrations, or any evening where you want to arrive and simply own the room.

What if it doesn't fit?

Every rental comes with our Fit Guarantee.

How To Rent

Choose your rental start date on the calendar (the day you'd like your item to arrive) and select a 4-day, 8-day or 16-day rental. Bookings must be placed at least one day in advance, and weekends are greyed out as we don't deliver on Saturdays or Sundays. If your rental ends on a weekend or public holiday, we'll collect on the next working day.

How do delivery and returns work?

Delivery and return collection are both pre-booked for you, so there's nothing to arrange. Your rental arrives ready to wear, and when you're done, simply repack it in the same box, garment bag and hanger it came in, attach the return waybill, and have it ready for collection on your final rental day. See full shipping info here.

What's covered, and can I cancel?

Every rental includes snag & spill insurance, covering minor damage like small marks and broken zips (specialist stain removal is charged separately). Plans changed? Cancel 5 or more working days before your start date for a full refund, a reschedule, or a gift card. See our full Cancellation & Flexibility Policy for details.
