Mimi Swing Dress – A Love Daphne Pinkmas

This One Comes From the Heart 🩷🎄✨

Every now and then, we create something that feels like more than just a dress.

This is one of those times. 🥹

Meet A Love Daphne Pinkmas — a Limited Edition Love Daphne Exclusive designed by our very own Mel C, but inspired by the life, loves and experiences of our founder, Tracey.

And when Mel first showed Tracey the finished print?

There were tears. 🥹🩷

Because this isn't simply a collection of pretty Christmas things on a pink background.

Every little detail means something.

Every symbol has a story.

And together, they capture something that sits right at the heart of Love Daphne:

Embrace who you are. Surround yourself with the things that bring you joy. And never be afraid to stand out. 🩷

Look Closely… There's a Story in Here 🎄

First things first.

Yes, the Christmas tree is PINK.

Because anyone who knows Tracey knows pink is her colour…

and naturally she owns a pink Christmas tree. 😂🩷

But look closely at the decorations Mel tucked amongst its branches and you'll discover little pieces of Tracey's life.

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

These two aren't just dogs.

They're family.

After a particularly difficult 12 months, they've been Tracey's saving grace — always there, always loving and somehow always capable of making her smile. 🐶🩷

Then there's the sparkly pink cowgirl boot. 👢✨

Tracey LOVES a good western theme.

Give her a hat, a cute gingham dress and matching boots and apparently…

there isn't anything she cannot achieve. 😂

And obviously the boot needed sparkle.

This is Love Daphne.

We have standards. ✨

You'll also find a yellow endometriosis awareness ribbon.

Tracey has lived with endometriosis for many years and it has been a significant part of her journey. As she approaches the end of that chapter, she's incredibly passionate about raising awareness and supporting other women experiencing their own endometriosis journeys.

It's a tiny detail in the print.

But one with an enormous amount of meaning. 💛

And then…

there's the flamingo. 🦩

Tracey's spirit animal.

She has flamingos everywhere as a constant reminder of something she believes deeply:

Life is far too short to blend in.

The flamingo reminds her that she doesn't need to be quieter, less colourful or more like everyone else.

Being herself is enough.

Quite frankly, we think that's a pretty fabulous message for all of us. 🩷

And Of Course… The Disco Balls 🪩✨

Because what would Love Daphne be without a little sparkle?

There are five disco balls hanging in the shopfront at Love Daphne, and every afternoon the sunlight catches them as they move, scattering tiny sparkles all through the shop.

It's simple.

It's beautiful.

And it makes us smile.

Those disco balls are such a perfect representation of what this print is really about.

Finding the little things that bring you joy — and putting more of them into your world.

The pink Love Daphne ribbons are Mel's final little finishing touch.

A reminder that this print was created exclusively for us, with an extraordinary amount of thought, care and love.

And hopefully, when you wear it, you'll feel a little bit of that too. 🩷

Meet Mimi ✨

Now take ALL of that meaning…

And put it on one of our easiest, happiest dresses to wear.

Hello, Mimi. 😍

Mimi's flattering crossover V-neckline, comfortable ruffle sleeves and defined waistband create a beautiful shape without sacrificing comfort.

There's no wrestling with buttons or zips.

She simply pulls on and you're ready to sparkle.

Her knee-length swing skirt gives A Love Daphne Pinkmas plenty of room to shine — from the pink gingham and poinsettia wreaths to those glorious disco baubles, bows, hearts, stars and, of course, that very special pink Christmas tree.

And because she's made from our soft, stretchy polyester, she's comfortable enough for the marathon that is December.

Christmas parties.

Work Christmas lunches.

School concerts.

Christmas shopping.

Christmas Day.

Boxing Day.

That "I've eaten approximately 14 rum balls and regret NOTHING" portion of Christmas afternoon.

Mimi understands. 😂🩷

🩷 A Genuine Love Daphne Limited Edition

A Love Daphne Pinkmas will be produced differently from 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 one feels special.

We want it to remain special.

And we want the pieces that are made to feel like a little piece of Love Daphne history. 🥹🩷

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

Once our limited production allocation is spoken for…

that's it.

We won't simply manufacture hundreds more.

So if A Love Daphne Pinkmas has spoken to your pink, sparkly, flamingo-loving heart…

this is one we wouldn't leave too long. 🩷

🎄 Estimated Dispatch: 29 October 2026

More Than a Christmas Print

There is something else we hope you take from this dress.

You don't need to own Basset Hounds.

You don't need to love cowgirl boots.

You don't need a pink Christmas tree.

And you definitely don't need five disco balls hanging in your shopfront…

although we highly recommend that last one. 😂🪩

Because those things are Tracey's joy.

The real story of A Love Daphne Pinkmas is about discovering yours.

Wear the colour that makes you happy.

Love fiercely.

Talk about the things that matter.

Surround yourself with people, animals and things that make you smile.

Put on the sparkly boots.

And for goodness sake…

BE THE FLAMINGO. 🦩🩷

Because life is far too short to blend in.

And sometimes the bravest, happiest thing you can be…

is completely, unapologetically YOU.
