PREORDER - Maeve Swing Dress - Rainbow Christmas - Estimated dispatch date 29th of October
Maeve Swing Dress – Rainbow Christmas
Short, Sassy & Absolutely Impossible to Miss 🌈🎄✨
Christmas red and green?
Cute. But have you considered… THE ENTIRE RAINBOW? 😂🌈
Meet Rainbow Christmas — a glorious explosion of colour, sparkle and pure festive JOY.
Hot pink melts into coral, yellow, green, turquoise, blue and purple before bursting right back into pink again, all covered in a fabulous glitter-inspired texture and scattered with sparkling stars.
It's bright.
It's joyful.
It's unapologetically colourful.
And in our shorter, cheekier Maeve Swing Dress?
She's basically a Christmas party waiting to happen. 💃🌈✨
Meet Maeve 💕
If you love the fit of our Mimi but prefer a little less length, Maeve is your girl.
She has that same flattering bodice shape we love, with an elegant V-neckline, beautifully defined waist and comfortable stretch — but with a shorter, more playful skirt.
And Rainbow Christmas was MADE for this silhouette.
All that colour. All that sparkle. All that movement.
She's fun without feeling childish, festive without being traditionally Christmassy and bold enough to make you smile every single time you put her on.
Because sometimes the Christmas dress code should simply be:
Wear something that makes you ridiculously HAPPY. 🌈✨
Why You'll Love Her
- Flattering V-neckline
- Beautifully shaped bodice
- Defined waist for a gorgeous silhouette
- Shorter, playful skirt
- Particularly fabulous if you're petite or simply love showing a little more leg
- Soft and stretchy 100% polyester
- Plenty of movement for maximum rainbow swishing 🌈
- The all-important POCKETS! 🙌
- Enough colour to make tinsel look slightly underdressed 😂
🎄 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 clothes.
It's about joy, colour, confidence, belonging and finding your people.
And honestly?
Rainbow Christmas feels like all of that wrapped up in one very sparkly print. 🌈✨
This year, we're creating Christmas together. ❤️
✨ Christmas Preorder – Secure Yours Now
Our Christmas Collection is opening for preorder before we place our main production order, giving you the opportunity to secure the print, style and size you really want.

We'll be using your choices to help determine which prints, styles and sizes we produce in greater quantities for our final Christmas order.
So if Rainbow Christmas in Maeve has already made you think:
"Yep. THAT'S my Christmas dress."
Tell us with your preorder! 🌈💃
It's the best way to secure the combination you really want while helping us shape our final Christmas production.
🎄 Estimated Dispatch: 29 October 2026
Ready for Christmas parties, end-of-year celebrations, New Year's Eve and every occasion that could benefit from a little more colour.
Which, in our opinion, is all of them. 😂🌈✨
Fit Advice
Maeve is made from our soft 100% polyester fabric with a lovely amount of stretch.
We recommend choosing your usual Love Daphne size. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down in our polyester styles.
If you already know and love the fit of Mimi, Maeve has the same bodice fit with a shorter skirt, making her a fabulous option for our petite Sparkle Sisters or anyone who prefers a shorter silhouette.
For the most accurate fit, compare the individual size chart provided in the product images with a similar garment you already own and love.
Fabric: 100% Polyester
Neckline: V-neck
Silhouette: Fitted bodice with swing skirt
Length: Shorter than our Mimi
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.
