Pixie Sweetheart Dress – Gingerbread Cheer
Sweetheart Style Just Got Even Sweeter 🍪💕🎄
A sweetheart neckline.
Gingerbread houses.
Candy canes.
Christmas treats.
This combination was ALWAYS going to be adorable. 😂❤️
Meet Gingerbread Cheer — our wonderfully joyful Christmas print filled with all those delicious little details that instantly bring back the magic of Christmas.
Think gingerbread houses, gingerbread people, candy canes, sweet treats and festive details all bundled together in one gloriously cheerful print.
It's nostalgic.
It's playful.
It's colourful.
And it has that wonderful feeling of Christmas baking, Christmas music playing and someone hovering suspiciously close to the freshly decorated gingerbread.
We're watching you. 😂🍪
Meet Pixie 💕
If ever there was a dress made for a print called Gingerbread Cheer, it might just be Pixie.
Her beautiful sweetheart neckline brings an extra touch of femininity to this playful Christmas print, while the fitted bodice and shaping darts create gorgeous definition through the waist.
Then her elegant box pleats open into that classic knee-length skirt, giving all those gingerbread houses, candy canes and festive treats plenty of room to show off.
The result?
Sweet without being too sweet.
Feminine without feeling fussy.
Festive without looking like you've actually dressed as a gingerbread house.
Although…
We'd probably support that too. 😂🍪🏠

🎄 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. ❤️

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 garment you already own and love.

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.
