25.01.2022 Important announcement - cancellation of Moorabbin A Plus Market - Sunday 29th March 2020. Having been closely monitoring government and health department advice regarding COVID-19, we have decided to cancel the forthcoming A Plus Market event that was planned for Sunday March 29 at Kingston City Hall, Moorabbin. This decision considers both the the safety and wellbeing of our patrons and staff as well as the broader community. With the governments recent decision to ban all ...non essential events that attract greater than 500 people; the situation escalating and changing rapidly we feel we cant guarantee a safe and fun environment that weve come to expect from an A Plus Market. We thank you for your support and understanding at this challenging time and look forward to seeing you safe and sound in A Plus health when the air clears. Fingers crossed - well be back in May!

25.01.2022 Another voice calling for our visual diet to include diversity :)

24.01.2022 Its a long weekend. Perfect for rummaging around in your wardrobe and clearing out the things you dont need. Then come sell them at @A Plus Market https://aplusmarkets.com/stall-holder-info/

23.01.2022 Our first market for 2020 is steadily approaching!!! Its truly a great place to shop for plus size fashion but also for anyone no matter their size, as there are loads of shoes, handbags and other accessories. Theres a mix of new and pre-loved stalls so its a great place to pick up some bargains or a special locally designed frock. Be there, be fabulously fashioned and tell your friends ... https://facebook.com/events/s/a-plus-market-plus-size-fashio/497390184190623/?ti=icl

22.01.2022 You asked for it and we made it happen A Plus Market is being held in the South East! Kingston City Hall Sunday 29th March

20.01.2022 Make sure its in your diary :) Sunday 29th March - Kingston City Hall.

19.01.2022 Heading to the South East for our next market date. Its a huge and gorgeous hall at Kingston City. It would be great to fill it with plus fashion and smiling faces.... Hope to see you there!

19.01.2022 Quick update re plans for the next market. Simply we don’t know. Venues are not confirming dates because they don’t know. Restrictions continue to change so it’s difficult to make plans that we can be confident to stick. Annnnd with the current level of restrictions probably continuing near indefinitely (or at last that how it feels) it’s difficult to understand how we’ll be able to function safely, comfortably and viably.... We are slowly working through some alternative ideas but have yet to have any light bulb moments.

18.01.2022 Our free badges were very happily received last Saturday which gave us the idea to snazzy up some of our promo flyers. Heading to the Moorabbin area tomorrow for distribution. #plusfashionmarket #plusfashionshopping #melbourneplussize

17.01.2022 Behind the fashion and the fun of A Plus Market theres a fierce underlying goal to help remove stigma around size. We have a really diverse range of people within the A Plus Market community, many activists and strong supporters of Fat acceptance and some that have never heard there is such a movement. We want everyone to feel welcome and if we can spread the knowledge and power in a non threatening way. So with this in mind - weve created a bundle of fat activist badges ...that you can collect if you want - for free! Theres a whole bunch of differing designs that you can choose from that best suits how you wish to show your support and spread the message. Plus! If you want to design and or make your own - you can. Well have a badge making workshop at 11.30 - Saturday!

11.01.2022 A Plus Market Community Page Is for anyone and everyone who is missing out in real life face to face market days. Connect, chat, share your successes, sell or swap clothes and fashion accessories or anything really you want. ... Though there are rules! The following will not be tolerated- Fat shaming or body policing, diet promotion or food shaming or health concern trolling, gender policing, any racial, religious or cultural slurs, ableism or any negativity directed to LGBTQI+ peoples. If any rules are broken the offender will be blocked. Be kind, curious and generous to each other There are plenty of online fashion trading spaces and ones where discussion of fat specific topics takes place though this group has been created specifically for us who are missing each others faces. https://www.facebook.com/groups/288782222391452/?ref=share

10.01.2022 The long over due A Plus Market 2020 update. With the social distancing laws being in flux and potential for them to change suddenly we have decided to cancel both the May and July A Plus Markets. Personally Im devastated to be missing out on my winter clothes shopping though considering both health and space restrictions this seems the best path forward. ... If all goes well the next market at this stage will be in September at the new Werribee location. We are however not accepting bookings yet. In the mean time I am working on a presentation for the upcoming online New Zealand Fat Studies Conference. I may need some help in this regard - just some answering questionnaire things, so please watch out for these updates and requests. The other thing I will be doing is taking a much needed break from A Plus Market stuffs. Its been a fun 7 years but Im looking forward to having a bit of a brain and activity holiday whilst also doing some background planning on how best to relaunch the markets in the safest way possible. Thanks for everyones support. Keep keeping safe and hopefully happy.t

10.01.2022 It was to be a Market day today I’m pretty sad about all the happenings and I miss everyone! Having thought about the way forward I’ve decided that all 2020 markets are cancelled. We won’t be creating an online market portal. ... I have however created an A Plus Market Community Facebook group. It’s designed to be a space where tons of us that are missing our in real lore interactions can connect - if you want to. It’s a private group so those that are not in the group won’t be able to see your posts. Create of it what you like - share chats and or sell/swap your clothes. But note the rules and be kind to each other https://www.facebook.com/groups/288782222391452/?ref=share

09.01.2022 @estelleclothing are here with their excess and seconds. A plus Market 10-2 Coburg Town Hall

09.01.2022 Update time After the enforced break of the long lockdown planning is go! Yet, theres still not a lot to update with, unfortunately. ... Restrictions as they are now do mean some changes are afoot. I want to make sure we can all have a rewarding and safe market experience. I want to be as sure as I can that there’ll be no last minute cancellations or changes. The risk of financial and time loss is real! So far I’ve made some tentative plans but won’t be making any bold moves until the new year. Stay tuned

08.01.2022 It was to be a Market day today Im pretty sad about all the happenings and I miss everyone! Having thought about the way forward Ive decided that all 2020 markets are cancelled.

08.01.2022 Usually just before a market we post some shopping tips for everyone - like being a big bag and plenty of cash (no atm on site and majority of stalls are cash only) but the best tip we have is to come to have fun, be present and kind to one another and yourself. Shopping for clothing can be the absolute worst. Its our aim to give you lots of choices and the freedom to try some new things on a judgment free zone. See ya Saturday A PlUs Market Saturday 29th February Coburg ...Town Hall #itsnotyouitstheclothes #plussizefreedom #plussizefashionchoices #bekindtoyourself #bekindtoothers

08.01.2022 Wooop woooop - happy dance! This A Plus Market Airdrie at Joolz Fashion is bringing 2 racks full of samples and seconds lots of discounted stock, all brand new and all priced to go. If youve been eyeing off some Joolz but its never in your price range, this market could be your lucky day! As her sample size is 22, there will be LOADS of items in size 22, but also full size ranges in some items, like these beautiful quality Blue 70s Art Print Dresses which are a perfect fit for those of us who are generously-endowed through the hips, but not the bust.

07.01.2022 I don’t know anything about the project though some of you may want to get behind this.

07.01.2022 Soooooo... To market, to market? That is the question...... Now that we are back on track to socialise again the time has come to consider the what to do... To return safely and successfully we are going to need to implement some changes. It’s totally doable and I need to top up my wardrobe so the chances are we’ll return sometime in 2021. But we’ll finally after all these years be increasing our entrance fee. We’ll need to move to an electronic payment system too. I’m considering a pay what you feel/can with suggestions of -$5 keep us going -$10 help us grow I’ve even considered some kind of yearly subscription payment for frequent attendees... I’d love your feedback? Thoughts on this pricing structure...
