FairyLuscious: Alternative Fashion for Curvy Goddesses

Here at FairyFloss, we've always been committed to making our clothes available to all women, regardless of dress size; when we order them in, every item is available from S to XL. The stitching and detailing is carefully crafted to create a range of flattering effects; to slim and streamline on some bodies, to enhance a curve on others. We noticed, however, that the larger sizes fit, but didn't quite sit right, on some women; they still looked good, but the effect just wasn't the same.

We believe that every woman deserves to be able to rock her style; that clothes designed for curvy women should celebrate and move with their body, rather than hiding it. Clothing styles that do this are fairly limited; the most easily available are definitely fifties pinup style or sixties chic (think Dangerfield, Modcloth, Mad Men), but not everyone wants to dress that way just to be able feel like their clothes are flattering their shape.

FairyLuscious has been a project that's been a while in the making, but this summer, we're finally doing a soft launch. We're offering a few pieces designed specifically with curves in mind; to flatter, to move, to fit like a glove. We've also taken FairyFloss items that have proven themselves perfect for curvy women and ensured they're available up to size 16 (most have enough stretch or adjustment capabilities to fit an 18). Given that most Australian women are size 14 or 16, this just seemed like common sense.

FairyLuscious is for daring roller derby girls, bodacious yoginis, curvy hoopstars, festival queens, all women wanting funky clothes that are made from the highest quality fabrics, in a range of amazing styles.

We'd be so grateful if you could share this with your friends, because the better the response, the more extensive the range will get. You can sign up to be one of the very first to try FairyLuscious here - no spam, just a head's up when we have something new to show you.

Supply and Demand: Bringing Back Your FairyFloss Favs



We get a lot of messages through our social media channels. Most of them are desperate pleas from customers who've seen a sold-out item at a festival or somewhere around the internet, and REALLY want us to bring it back.






Obviously, we can't bring every piece back; we need room in our shop for our gorgeous, new season designs! But if enough people ask, we do listen...so if you really, really love a piece, it's always worth sending us a message and letting us know, or liking every picture of it that you can find. Even if we don't plan to restock that particular item, we can usually recommend something that you'll love just as much (maybe more!). 

For example: since it went out of stock, we've had dozens of requests for the return of the Cosmic Lotus Vest (these are just the most recent few)...






So, we decided to bring it back just in time for this summer's festival season.




Or, check out how many likes these pictures of our Dreamcatcher Top got on Instagram...





With that many likes and our last lot having completely sold out, we decided to bring this one back too.



There's plenty more old favorites back for another round...check out our latest newsletter for more.
