Peggy Swing Dress - Ocean Bliss
🌊 LIMITED EDITION
The Peggy Swing Dress – Ocean Bliss
Wear the Ocean. Carry the Story.
Introducing Ocean Bliss — a vibrant celebration of family, culture and the magic found beneath the sea.
This limited edition print was designed by Jodie, a Central Coast NSW artist known for her modern dotwork paintings that embrace bright, joyful colour. A proud Gamilaraay woman from north west NSW, Jodie currently resides on Darkinjung Country, with creativity deeply woven into her family lineage.
Creativity runs deep in Jodie’s family with her great grandfather, grandfather and mother all sharing a love for artistic expression, from drawing to poetry. Her piece Ocean Bliss was created with fond memories in mind, inspired by time spent at the beach with her children - searching for shells, starfish and hidden creatures in rock pools and enjoying the simple magic of being together by the water. The artwork is a heartfelt celebration of family connection and time spent engaging with the natural world along the shoreline.
The Artwork
Set against a bold, electric ocean-blue background, the print features:
-
A graceful sea turtle in flowing dotwork detail
-
Smaller turtles swimming close by
-
Starfish scattered across the sea floor
-
Floating bubbles
-
A softly drifting jellyfish
The intricate dot detailing and uplifting colour palette — soft lilacs, teals, corals and aquas — create movement and calm all at once, reflecting the peaceful rhythm of the sea.
It feels alive.
Joyful.
Grounded in connection.
And it’s strictly limited edition.

1. How do I choose the correct size?
The best way to find your perfect fit is to measure a garment you already own that fits you beautifully and has a similar style to the item you're purchasing.
Lay the garment flat and take the measurements, then compare them with the size guide provided on each product page.
We also recommend considering the fabric type, as different materials fit differently. See our "Do Polyester & Cotton garments fit the same?" FAQ below for more information. If you are still unsure, please email us for more help.
2. Do Polyester & Cotton garments fit the same?
No. Different fabrics have different amounts of stretch, which can affect the fit.
- Polyester: Generally has more stretch and flexibility, giving you a little more room to move. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down.
- Cotton: Has very little stretch and is generally more structured. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
If you are not between sizes, we recommend choosing your usual size and comparing your measurements with the size guide provided.
3. Where can I find the size guide?
Every product has its own individual size guide, which can be found at the end of the product images.
As sizing can vary between brands and styles, we recommend checking the size guide on every product before placing your order rather than relying on your usual size.
4. Are the size guides exact measurements?
Size guides are provided as a helpful guide only.
While we do our best to ensure they are as accurate as possible, measurements are approximate and can vary slightly between different styles and even individual garments due to the manufacturing process.
For the most accurate fit, we recommend comparing the flat-lay measurements of a garment you already own with the measurements listed on the product page.
5. What if my size is sold out?
If your size is currently unavailable, we'd love to help.
Please email us at sales@lovedaphneretro.com or submit an enquiry through our Contact Us page, and we'll happily check whether your size can be specially ordered for you.
