PREORDER - Maeve Swing Dress - Twinkle All the Way - Estimated dispatch date 29th of October
Maeve Swing Dress – Twinkle All the Way
Short, Sassy & Ready to Sparkle ✨🌈🖤
Some dresses wait for the party to start.
Maeve IS the party. 😂✨
Meet Twinkle All the Way — a spectacular explosion of glowing rainbow lights dancing across a deep black background.
Electric blue.
Hot pink.
Neon green.
Purple.
Red.
Golden yellow.
And brilliant little starbursts that look like tiny sparks of light scattered across the night sky. ✨
It's bold.
It's colourful.
It's joyful.
And it has that little bit of after-dark magic that makes it feel completely different from a traditional Christmas print.
But here's what we REALLY love…
Twinkle All the Way doesn't stop sparkling when Christmas is over. 🌈
New Year's Eve.
Birthdays.
Concerts.
Pride.
Festivals.
Parties.
Dinner with the girls.
Or literally anywhere you feel like being the brightest person in the room.
Permission granted. 😂✨
Meet Maeve 💕
Maeve takes everything we love about Mimi and gives it a shorter, sassier little twist.
She has that same beautifully flattering bodice fit, with an elegant V-neckline, defined waist and comfortable stretch — but with a shorter, more playful skirt.
And Twinkle All the Way in Maeve?
OH, SHE'S FUN. 😍
That shorter silhouette combined with the black background and brilliant neon rainbow lights gives her a fabulous party feel.
She's particularly gorgeous for our petite Sparkle Sisters, anyone who prefers to show a little more leg, or anyone whose Christmas plans involve significantly more dancing than sitting.
Because when those rainbow lights start moving across Maeve's swing skirt…
Standing still feels like a wasted opportunity. 😂💃✨
Why You'll Love Her
- Flattering V-neckline
- Beautifully shaped bodice
- Defined waist for a gorgeous silhouette
- Shorter, playful skirt
- Fabulous for petite customers or anyone who prefers a shorter style
- Soft and stretchy 100% polyester
- Plenty of movement for dancing and twirling 💃
- The all-important POCKETS! 🙌
- Brilliant rainbow colour against a striking black background
- Festive enough for Christmas but fabulous enough to wear all year
- Basically the clothing equivalent of turning the fairy lights onto MAXIMUM SPARKLE 😂✨
🎄 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 this year, we're creating Christmas together. ❤️
✨ Christmas Preorder – Secure Yours Now

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
Wear her to the Christmas party.
Wear her on New Year's Eve.
Then bring her back out for birthdays, concerts, Pride, festivals and every other occasion that deserves a little extra colour.
Or just wear her to Woolies.
We don't believe sparkle requires an occasion. 😂✨

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.
