Mimi Swing Dress – Not So Silent Night
Christmas Has a Dark Side… 🖤🎄💀
'Twas the night before Christmas…
And things had taken a decidedly DARK turn. 🖤😂
Meet Not So Silent Night — our gloriously gothic take on Christmas for the Sparkle Sisters who love the festive season…
but would choose black over traditional red and green EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Set against a rich, moody deep red and black background, this print is packed with the most incredible dark Christmas details.
Black cats tangled in fairy lights.
Ravens in Santa hats.
Bats.
Skulls.
Deep red roses.
Gothic wreaths.
Potion bottles.
Candy canes.
A slightly sinister gingerbread man.
A Christmas tree covered in roses and skulls.
And an ornate Silent Night tombstone that pretty much sums up the entire mood. 😂💀
Look closely and you'll keep discovering something new.
It's gothic.
It's whimsical.
It's beautifully dramatic.
It's a little bit macabre.
And somehow…
It's still ridiculously Christmassy. 🎄🖤
Meet Mimi 🖤
Mimi might be one of our easiest, most comfortable styles…
But in Not So Silent Night, she's showing us her dark side. 💀🌹
Her flattering crossover V-neckline creates a gorgeous shape through the bodice, while her short ruffle sleeves give you comfortable, unrestricted movement.
There's no wrestling with buttons or zips because Mimi simply pulls on.
Then her defined waistband flows into that fabulous knee-length swing skirt, giving all those wonderfully dark little Christmas details plenty of room to show off.
And the deeper colour palette gives Mimi a completely different personality.
She's still playful.
She's still colourful.
She's still unmistakably Love Daphne.
She's just…
been listening to slightly different Christmas music. 😂🖤

🎄 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. ❤️
And Not So Silent Night has already proven exactly why we're doing it this way.
Sometimes the print that's a little different…
is EXACTLY the print your people have been waiting for. 🖤

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.
