GENERAL FAQ

  • As a roving celebration of plus size fashion (and joy!), we’re always teeing up something exciting.

    Your best bet to keep on top of all our exciting announcements, including market dates and locations, is to keep an eye on our social media or join our mailing list.

  • A Plus Market aims to cater for all plus size bodies. This means sizing at each event starts at a size 16 or XL, and goes through to a 32+ or 6XL+.

    We work with brands to offer a mix of casual, work wear, things for feeling fancy, and comfy gear. The preloved portion of the market is a treasure trove that rewards patient bargain-hunters.

  • Some stallholders will have portable card readers or mobile payments available, and some won’t - we suggest you bring a fat stack of cash just in case!

  • A Plus is a roving market based in Victoria. We often run from town halls and venues in the inner north of Melbourne, and occasionally do pop-ups outside of central Melbourne.

    Got a great venue we can use in your town or area? Send us an email: hello@aplusmarket.com.au

  • A Plus Market is based in Melbourne, and we love to travel to regional or outer Melbourne locations when we can. We’re also open to exploring events in new cities and locations - if you have a venue to offer up or any other resources we might be able to tap into, please reach out!

  • That one is up to you, but we highly recommend it when we’re trading at indoor locations or if you’re shopping with us during a busy time. Sadly, the pandemic ain’t over (but damn, do we wish it was!). We’ll also always have hand sanitiser and spare masks available at our front desk - just ask our legendary staff.

STALLHOLDER FAQ

  • If you run a business or are a creator, all the info you need is here. We usually open applications for business stalls 6-8 weeks ahead of market day.

    If you would like to host a preloved stall, we recently changed our process to accept applications ahead of each market. Applications will open here 6-8 weeks before each market, and we’ll get back to you within a few weeks to let you know if we can offer you a spot.

    To stay across dates for upcoming markets, we highly recommend signing up to our mailing list.

  • Stall spaces at A Plus Market are usually 2.5 metres (deep) x 3 metres (wide). You will always get two chairs as part of your stall hire, and often we can provide you with a trestle table as well – just ask.

    As a stallholder, you’ll connect with our fab plus size community who are looking for new outfits. You’ll also get tips and tricks from the A Plus gals in the lead-up to market day to give you the best shot at a successful day.

  • We welcome all kinds of high-quality gently worn clothes, shoes and accessories in sizes 16 and up. All brands are welcome on your stall racks, but hot tip from us: fast fashion doesn’t always sell too well, so it might be best donated to your local op shop. If you’d sell it to your best mate, it’ll work at A Plus.

  • Can you ever! We HIGHLY recommend this for preloved stalls, and are open to combined applications from brands and/or creators. Just let us know who you would like to team up with in your application.

  • We welcome expressions of interest from local brands that sell new or preloved plus size clothing, and from businesses owned by plus size people. This includes: jewellery creators, artists, ceramicists, and other creatives.

  • You sure can! We hire out retail-grade clothing racks for $30 per rack, and you can hire a large trestle table for free. You will also get two chairs for the day as part of your stall hire.

  • If you would like to sell your preloved clothes AND sell items that you create as a business owner, we ask that you put in an EOI for a business stall.
