PREORDER - Peggy Swing Dress - Rudolph After Hours - Estimated dispatch date 5th of November
Peggy Swing Dress – Rudolph After Hours
Vintage Glamour Has Hit Happy Hour 🍸🦌🎄
Peggy is usually our beautifully polished, vintage-inspired lady.
But it's Christmas.
She's clocked off.
And apparently…
SHE'S ORDERING A COCKTAIL. 😂🍸
Meet Rudolph After Hours — our cheeky Christmas print featuring a group of reindeer who have very clearly finished their sleigh duties and headed directly to the bar.
Set against a fabulous bold festive pink-red background, you'll find reindeer lounging in enormous cocktail glasses, wearing sunglasses, balancing cranberries and looking altogether FAR too pleased with themselves.
There are festive berries and greenery.
Stars and fireworks.
Cocktails everywhere.
And at least one reindeer who looks like he's about to tell you the same story for the third time.
We've all been to that Christmas party. 😂🦌
It's festive.
It's fabulous.
It's gloriously silly.
And paired with Peggy's classic vintage silhouette, the contrast is just TOO GOOD.
Meet Peggy ❤️
Peggy brings all the gorgeous vintage-inspired glamour…
While Rudolph brings the drinks. 🍸😂
Her classic shirtwaist silhouette features a functioning button front, neat cuffed sleeves and a matching belt to beautifully define your waist.
And then there's that magnificent full circle skirt.
Rudolph After Hours absolutely SHINES on Peggy because all that gorgeous fullness gives those cocktail-sipping reindeer plenty of room to show off.
Wear her as she is for classic Christmas glamour, or add a petticoat underneath for maximum vintage drama.
Because there's something wonderfully ridiculous about wearing an elegant, full-circle vintage dress…
covered in reindeer sitting in martini glasses.
And that is exactly why we love her. 😂❤️

🎄 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. ❤️
✨ Christmas Preorder – Secure Yours Now
Our Christmas Collection is opening for preorder before we place our main production order, giving you the opportunity to secure the print, style and size you really want.
And your preorder matters.
We'll be using your choices to help determine which prints, styles and sizes we produce in greater quantities for our final Christmas order.
So if the combination of Peggy's vintage glamour and Rudolph's questionable Christmas decisions feels like it was made especially for you…

It's the best way to secure the combination you really want while helping us shape our final Christmas production.
🎄 Estimated Dispatch: 5 November 2026

Then all bets are off. 😂🍸

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.
