PREORDER - Nellie Skater Skirt - Not So Silent Night - Estimated dispatch date 5th of November
Nellie Skater Skirt – Not So Silent Night
A Little Skirt With a Beautifully Dark Side 🖤🌹💀
Maybe you're not the head-to-toe Christmas dress type.
Maybe your festive wardrobe looks more like…
Black tee. Boots. Fabulous skirt. Done. 🖤
If so, Nellie would like a word. 😂
Meet Not So Silent Night — our gloriously gothic Christmas print created for the Sparkle Sisters who love the festive season…
but like it considerably darker.
Set against a rich deep red and black background, this print is packed with incredible little 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 decorated with roses and skulls.
And that magnificent Silent Night tombstone.
It's Christmas.
Just… not as you know it. 🖤🎄
Meet Nellie 💀
Okay, we think Nellie could be a BIG one in this print.
Why?
Because she lets you take all that incredible gothic Christmas detail and style it completely YOUR way.
Pair her with a black band tee and boots for a look that barely needs any explanation.
Add a fitted black top and heels for the Christmas party.
Pick up the deep red with a gorgeous top or cardigan.
Add some outrageous gothic Christmas earrings.
Or throw her on with a tee and sneakers for those December days when you want to be festive…
but you're absolutely NOT dressing like an elf. 😂🖤
Her playful above-knee skater silhouette gives Not So Silent Night a younger, edgier feel, while her fitted waistband has a section of elastic at the back for a little extra comfort.
And because she's a separate, you can change the whole personality depending on how you style her.
Gothic Christmas.
Rockabilly Christmas.
Cute-but-creepy Christmas.
Full Christmas party fabulousness.
Nellie is up for all of it. 🖤
And obviously…
SHE HAS POCKETS! 🙌
For your phone, lipstick and possibly a small vial labelled DO NOT DRINK.
Just to match the print. 😂🧪

🎄 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 might be one of our favourite examples of that.
Because not everyone's version of Christmas joy looks the same.
Some people want rainbows.
Some want gingerbread.
Some want puppies.
And some saw the black cats, ravens, skulls and potion bottles and immediately yelled…
"THAT ONE." 😂🖤
We see you.

but would prefer to do so with skulls. 😂💀🎄
Fit Advice
Nellie is true to size, so we recommend choosing your usual Love Daphne size.

The waistband is fitted through the front and sides, with an elasticated section at the back to provide a little extra flexibility.
If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up in our cotton styles.
For the most accurate fit, compare the individual size chart provided in the product images with a similar skirt you already own and love.
Fabric: 97% Cotton, 3% Elastane

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.
