PREORDER - Nellie Skater Skirt - Rudolph After Hours - Estimated dispatch date 5th of November
Nellie Skater Skirt – Rudolph After Hours
Christmas Drinks With the Girls… In Skirt Form 🍸🦌💃
There are Christmas outfits for family lunch.
There are Christmas outfits for Santa photos.
And then there are Christmas outfits that say…
"YES. I will absolutely come for cocktails." 😂🍸
Meet Rudolph After Hours — our wonderfully cheeky Christmas print featuring a group of reindeer who have finished their festive responsibilities and are now making some increasingly questionable decisions.
Set against that fabulous bold festive pink-red background, you'll find reindeer lounging in enormous cocktail glasses, wearing sunglasses, balancing cranberries and looking like they're having the BEST Christmas party of their lives.
There are festive berries and greenery.
Stars.
Fireworks.
Cocktails.
And enough reindeer mischief to make this one of the most gloriously ridiculous prints in the collection.
We LOVE it. 😂🦌❤️
Meet Nellie 💃
Nellie is the girl who makes Christmas dressing EASY.
Throw her on with a simple white tee and sneakers for a casual festive outfit.
Pair her with black and let the print do all the talking.
Add red or pink and go full Christmas fabulous.
Or pop on a fitted top and heels and head straight to the Christmas party.
Preferably wherever Rudolph is going. He seems to know where the good cocktails are. 😂🍸
Her playful above-knee skater silhouette makes her fun and flirty, while her fitted waistband has a section of elastic at the back for a little extra comfort.
Which feels particularly thoughtful during the season of Christmas lunches, cheese platters and "Oh go on then, I'll have another." 😂
And yes…
SHE HAS POCKETS! 🙌
Phone. Lipstick. Emergency snacks.
We're not judging.

🎄 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. ❤️

"Should we just order a jug?"
Rudolph votes yes. 😂🍸
Fit Advice
Nellie is true to size, so we recommend choosing your usual Love Daphne size.
She's made from our 97% cotton / 3% elastane stretch cotton blend, giving you the beautiful structure and breathability of cotton with a small amount of stretch for comfort.
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.
