Maeve Swing Dress – A Love Daphne Pinkmas

Short, Sweet & Completely Unapologetically PINK 🩷🎄✨

There are some prints we create because we fall in love with a design.

And then there are prints that tell a story.

A Love Daphne Pinkmas tells ours. 🥹🩷

This very special Limited Edition Love Daphne Exclusive was designed by our own Mel C, inspired by the life, loves and experiences of our founder, Tracey.

When Mel first showed Tracey the finished design?

There were tears.

Because hidden amongst all that glorious pink Christmas joy were little pieces of Tracey's life.

Not random motifs chosen because they looked cute.

Things that actually mean something.

And that's what makes this print so incredibly special.

There's a Story Hiding in That Pink Christmas Tree 🎄🩷

Of course the Christmas tree is pink.

Anyone who knows Tracey knows her favourite colour isn't exactly a closely guarded secret…

and yes, she actually owns a pink Christmas tree. 😂

But it's what's hanging from the branches that really tells the story.

There's a Basset Hound, representing Tracey's beloved Sherbet and Dolly. 🐶

These two are family. After a particularly difficult 12 months, they've been her saving grace — always there with unconditional love and an extraordinary ability to make her smile when she needs it most.

There's a sparkly pink cowgirl boot. 👢✨

Because Tracey LOVES a western moment.

Give her a hat, a cute gingham dress and matching boots and apparently there isn't anything she cannot achieve.

Add sparkles?

Basically unstoppable. 😂

There's a yellow endometriosis awareness ribbon, representing something far more personal.

Endometriosis has been a significant part of Tracey's journey for many years. As she approaches the end of that chapter, she's passionate about raising awareness and supporting other women navigating their own experiences with it. 💛

And then there's the flamingo. 🦩

Tracey's spirit animal and a reminder she surrounds herself with in everyday life:

Life is far too short to blend in.

Being louder, brighter, quirkier, pinker or simply different isn't something that needs fixing.

Being exactly who you are is enough. 🩷

Then We Added a Little Sparkle… 🪩✨

Okay.

A LOT of sparkle. 😂

The beautiful disco balls scattered throughout A Love Daphne Pinkmas have their own little story too.

There are five disco balls hanging in the Love Daphne shopfront, and in the afternoon, the sunlight catches them as they gently move and sends sparkles dancing through the shop.

It's one of those tiny moments of everyday magic that makes us happy every single time.

Then you'll spot the gorgeous Love Daphne ribbons, added by Mel as a finishing touch — a little signature and reminder of the love and care that went into creating this print.

Pink gingham.

Poinsettias.

Hearts.

Gold stars.

Disco balls.

Big pink bows.

A gloriously pink Christmas tree.

It's joyful.

It's meaningful.

It's VERY pink.

And it is…

completely, unmistakably Love Daphne. 🩷✨

Meet Maeve 🦩

Now let's make Pinkmas a little cheekier. 😂🩷

Maeve is Mimi's shorter, playful sister, with that same beautifully flattering bodice fit but a shorter skirt that gives the whole look a completely different personality.

And with A Love Daphne Pinkmas?

She is SO MUCH FUN.

The shorter silhouette works beautifully with the playful pink gingham background, big bows, hearts, disco baubles and pops of gold sparkle.

She's bright.

She's feminine.

She's fun.

And she absolutely refuses to quietly blend into the Christmas party decorations.

Which feels rather appropriate considering there's a flamingo hiding in the print. 😂🦩

Maeve is a fabulous choice for our petite Sparkle Sisters, anyone who prefers to show a little more leg, or anyone who simply loves their Christmas dresses a little shorter and sassier.

Why You'll Love Her

• Flattering V-neckline
• Beautifully shaped bodice
• Defined waist for a gorgeous silhouette

• Exclusive artwork designed by our very own Mel C

• An extraordinary amount of pink, sparkle and joy packed into one little dress 🩷✨
• Contains a flamingo — therefore scientifically proven to improve Christmas outfits* 😂🦩

*Possibly not actual science.

🩷 A Genuine Love Daphne Limited Edition

A Love Daphne Pinkmas isn't being produced in the same quantities as the rest of our Christmas Collection.

This is a genuine Limited Edition Love Daphne Exclusive, and we're deliberately manufacturing it in much smaller numbers.

Because this isn't simply another print in the collection.

This one is personal.

It's been thoughtfully designed, filled with meaning and created especially for Love Daphne.

Preordering gives you the very best opportunity to secure Maeve in your preferred size before we place our final production order.

Once our limited production allocation is spoken for…

that's it. 🩷

So if Maeve is your Pinkmas dress, we definitely wouldn't recommend playing the traditional Christmas game of…

"I'll think about it and come back later." 😂

🎄 Estimated Dispatch: 29 October 2026

Find Your Own Flamingo 🦩🩷

The beautiful thing about this print is that you don't need to share Tracey's favourite things for its message to belong to you.

Sherbet and Dolly are her joy.

The cowgirl boots are her confidence.

The disco balls are her everyday sparkle.

The flamingo is her reminder.

But what are yours?

What makes you smile when life has been hard?

What do you put on that makes you feel like you can take on the world?

What tiny moments stop you in your tracks and make an ordinary day feel beautiful?

What reminds you that you don't need to blend in?

Find those things.

Surround yourself with them.

Wear them.

Celebrate them.

And never apologise for loving what you love.

Because perhaps that's the biggest piece of Tracey's story hidden inside this very pink Christmas print:

Joy doesn't need anybody else's approval. 🩷

So wear the pink.

Hang the disco ball.

Put on the sparkly boots.

And always…

BE THE FLAMINGO. 🦩✨
