PREORDER - Peggy Swing Dress - Not So Silent Night - Estimated dispatch date 5th of November
Peggy Swing Dress – Not So Silent Night
Vintage Christmas Has Gone Deliciously Dark 🖤🌹🎄
Peggy has always had a little old-world glamour about her.
So when we paired her with Not So Silent Night…
OH. MY. GOTHIC. CHRISTMAS. 😍🖤
Meet our gloriously dark take on festive dressing — a Christmas print for the Sparkle Sisters who adore the season but would happily trade traditional red and green for black, blood red, roses and just a few strategically placed skulls. 😂💀
Set against a rich, moody deep red and black background, Not So Silent Night is absolutely PACKED with 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 incredible ornate Silent Night tombstone.
It's dramatic.
It's romantic.
It's wonderfully macabre.
And somehow still unmistakably Christmas.
Just… Christmas after dark. 🖤🎄
Meet Peggy 🌹
This pairing feels like it was meant to happen.
Peggy's classic vintage-inspired shirtwaist silhouette brings an almost Victorian feel to the deep reds, ornate frames, roses and gothic details of Not So Silent Night.
She features a functioning button front, neat cuffed sleeves and a matching belt to beautifully define the waist.
And then there's that magnificent…
FULL. CIRCLE. SKIRT. 🖤💃
All that gorgeous fabric gives this incredibly detailed print room to tell its story.
The ravens.
The cats.
The roses.
The skull-covered Christmas tree.
The bats.
That tombstone.
Every turn reveals something else.
Wear Peggy exactly as she is for gorgeous vintage-inspired drama, or add a petticoat underneath and take her into full Gothic Christmas Queen territory.
And quite frankly?
If there was ever a print deserving of a dramatic petticoat moment, THIS IS IT. 😂🖤

🎄 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 feels particularly special.
Because Christmas joy doesn't have to look the same for everyone.
Some people want gingerbread and rainbows.
Some want puppies and dinosaurs.
And some have been sitting quietly in the corner thinking…
"Yes, lovely. But where are the skulls?" 😂💀
We heard you. 🖤

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.
