Aussie Christmas… With a Little Extra Leg 🎄🐨✨

Our Aussie Bush Buddies have officially found their way onto Maeve — and ohhhh, this combination is CUTE. 😍

This gorgeous print is our little celebration of Christmas right here at home, filled with some of Australia's most-loved furry and feathered characters getting themselves into the festive spirit.

You'll spot cheeky koalas in Santa hats, kangaroos, wombats, kookaburras, magpies, an echidna delivering his Christmas present, an emu joining the party and our ridiculously adorable Christmas platypus.

They're scattered amongst native florals, eucalyptus and sweet festive details on the prettiest soft eucalyptus-green background.

It's whimsical. It's nostalgic. It's unmistakably Australian.

It's Christmas in the Australian bush brought to life. 🎄✨

And if you love the shape of our Mimi but prefer your dresses a little shorter…

Meet Maeve. 💃

Shorter. Playful. Fabulous.

Maeve is Mimi's slightly cheekier little sister. 😉

She keeps that gorgeous feminine silhouette we love, with a flattering V-neckline, structured bodice and defined waist — but finishes with a shorter skirt for a fun, flirty feel.

She's particularly fabulous for our petite beauties who find longer swing dresses a little overwhelming, or anyone who simply likes to show a little more leg.

And yes…

SHE HAS POCKETS! 🙌

Why You'll Love Her

Flattering V-neckline
Beautifully structured bodice
Defined waist for a gorgeous feminine shape
Shorter swing skirt for a playful finish
Fabulous movement without all the extra length
The all-important POCKETS
Soft, stretchy and comfortable 100% polyester
An entire Australian Christmas party happening on your dress 😂🎄

🎄 Christmas 2026 – Created With You

This year, we're doing Christmas a little differently.

Instead of disappearing behind the doors of Sparkle Central and making every decision ourselves, we're bringing our Love Daphne community along for the ride.

You're helping us choose prints, sharing your opinions, voting, naming designs and — through your preorders — helping us decide what our final Christmas production looks like.

Because Love Daphne has always been about more than dresses.

It's about joy, colour, confidence, belonging and finding your people.

And this year, we're creating Christmas together. ❤️

Fit Advice

Maeve fits the same through the bodice as our Mimi style, with a shorter skirt length.

The polyester fabric has stretch and flexibility, and if you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down. For the best fit, compare the measurements of a similar garment you already own with the individual size chart provided in the product images.

Fabric: 100% Polyester
Length: Shorter swing length
Pockets: Absolutely! 🙌

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.

Please note that not all sold-out sizes can be reordered, but we'll always do our best to help.

What is a Pre-Order item?

Any product marked PRE-ORDER is not currently in stock and is ordered specifically for you once your order is placed.

The estimated arrival and dispatch dates shown on our website are approximate and may change due to unexpected supplier, manufacturing or shipping delays.

We update the estimated arrival dates on our website weekly to reflect the latest information from our suppliers. However, your estimated dispatch date is based on the estimated arrival date displayed at the time you placed your order.

If your pre-order experiences any significant delays, we'll always do our best to keep you informed.

Please note that if your order contains both in-stock and pre-order items, your order will generally be dispatched once all items have arrived unless alternative arrangements have been made.
