Yesterday A Plus got a little spot on The Morning Show with Larry and Kylie. It was a bit of a 'pinch me' moment, to have a long-running, national, mainstream morning show on a commercial station show curiosity and support for plus size fashion. We're super grateful for the opportunity to beam into loungerooms all over the country to reassure plus size babes that they're not alone and yes, the status quo is exclusionary. Here's the full 4.5-min slot in case you missed it! #APlusMarket #PlusSizeFashion

@voluptuadesigns was born from a frustration a lot of us know well: not being able to find clothes that fit and reflect your style. Designer and dressmaker Leah has been sewing since she was 12 to overcome this problem. Since then, she's finely tuned her skills not just in sewing but also in pattern-making, designing and running her brand. Now, through Voluptua, she creates handmade retro-inspired pieces full of colour, glamour and personality. These are clothes designed specifically with plus size bodies in mind. It's all about craftsmanship, making clothes that last, and the joy of creating for community. ✨ Find Voluptua at A Plus Market 🗓 Sunday 31 May, 10am to 3pm 📍 Coburg Town Hall #APlusMarket #PlusSizePinup #RetroStyle #PlusSizeFashion [Image descriptions: blue-to-purple gradient tiles with blue features and black text.

If you’ve ever watched a street style interview or outfit video and thought “wait… I’d actually do that if someone asked me”… this is me asking 👀 I’ll be filming street interviews + outfit content at the on May 31 at Coburg Town Hall and I’m looking for people who wanna be part of it. Maybe you’ve got a fit you’re obsessed with. Maybe you want to push yourself out of your comfort zone a little. Maybe you’re always the person saying “ugh I wish the content person saw me.” Well. This is your chance. Come say hi, bring the outfit, and don’t be scared to say yes when the microphone appears 🎤 Link in bio to register your deets 💋

During A Plus Book Club last month, @the.brokegeneration introduced us to the idea of ‘whipped cream’ – the name she's given to those few extra minutes you spend adding some more of ✨️yourself✨️ to your outfit. 🤔 Because style is about being more of you. Not about changing yourself or buying a whole new wardrobe. #APlusBookClub #TheWardrobeProject #PlusSizeStyle

Our community resources table is back – and we need YOUR input to make it shine! ✨ Are you a plus-size small business owner? Do you offer products or services for folks in bigger bodies? Here’s your chance to showcase your work – totally FREE! Just drop off some business cards or flyers on market day. 🛍️ A Plus Market 📅 Sunday 31 May 2026, 10am to 3pm 📍 Coburg Town Hall, 90 Bell Street Coburg 🤩 Why join in? Our community resources table sits front and centre at the entrance, where every single market-goer passes by. A Plus is more than a market. It’s a growing community and a hub for referrals that keep supporting fat-friendly businesses well beyond market day. From fashion brands and seamstresses to health professionals, movement spaces, and even oven repairers (yes, seriously!), we’re all about connecting our community with inclusive and supportive services. 💖 What’s the vibe? Fat-positive, size-inclusive, and community-focused. No intentional weight-loss services here, please – this space is all about celebrating and supporting fat bodies, as they are. Help us build something fabulous – leave your mark on the A Plus Market community! [Image description: A blue and purple background with a white square text box.

She came. She shopped. She collapsed dramatically. She is not alone. Before A Plus: "I'll just go have a little look..."

What if getting dressed wasn't just a chore – but an act of resistance? 💪💃 In 'The Wardrobe Project' (our latest book club read – spoiler, it's great), @the.brokegeneration looks at what happens when we pay closer attention to what we wear, why we wear it, and who we're wearing it for. She has noticed that there are a lot of rules. You know the ones – be small. Take up as little space as you can. Wear what's 'flattering'. Make your body as unobtrusive as possible. Well, here's Emma's advice on how to go about rejecting all that. Turn it into a bingo card if you like.
