Peggy Swing Dress – Aussie Bush Buddies
A Classic Aussie Christmas 🎄🐨✨
If Christmas in the Australian bush became a dress… we think she'd look a little something like this. 😍
Meet Aussie Bush Buddies — our gorgeous celebration of Christmas right here at home.
This whimsical print brings together some of our favourite furry and feathered Aussies, all getting into the Christmas spirit.
You'll find cheeky koalas in Santa hats, kangaroos, wombats, kookaburras, magpies, an echidna carrying his Christmas present, an emu joining the festivities and quite possibly the cutest Christmas platypus we've ever seen.
They're surrounded by native florals, eucalyptus and sweet festive details, all scattered across the prettiest soft eucalyptus-green background.
It's nostalgic. It's joyful. It's unmistakably Australian.
It's Christmas in the Australian bush brought to life. 🎄✨
And paired with our beautiful Peggy Swing Dress, there's something wonderfully nostalgic about it.
Meet Peggy ❤️
Peggy brings all the vintage charm.
With her classic shirtwaist silhouette, functioning button front, cuffed sleeves, matching belt and fabulous full circle skirt, she's made for anyone who loves a beautifully structured, feminine shape.
And because Peggy is made from our stretch cotton blend, she has that gorgeous crisp cotton feel while still allowing a little movement.
Add Aussie Bush Buddies and you've got a dress made for Christmas parties, end-of-year celebrations, festive lunches and a gloriously sunny Aussie Christmas Day.
Pop on a petticoat if you're feeling extra fabulous…
Or wear her exactly as she is.
Either way, Peggy knows how to make an entrance. 💃🎄

🎄 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 dresses.
It's about joy, colour, confidence, belonging and finding your people.
And this year, we're creating Christmas together. ❤️

Fit Advice
Peggy is made from a 97% cotton / 3% elastane stretch cotton blend. While the elastane provides some give, cotton is more structured and has less stretch than our polyester styles.
We recommend choosing your usual size and checking the individual size chart provided in the product images before ordering.
If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing UP in our cotton styles.
For the most accurate fit, compare the flat-lay measurements with a similar garment 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.
