Please support gender-variant & body-savvy clothing solutions

genderplayful:

A marketplace.
Where we sell clothes.
Clothes that actually fit.
In every sense of the word.

Want to see it happen?

Then please support the Genderplayful Marketplace. This is a plan for an online clothing marketplace that celebrates diversity in gender presentation and body types. Genderplayful is for anyone who can’t easily find what they’re looking for in a typical clothing store, with special support for androgynous, unisex, butch, dapper, femme, gender-bending, gender-transgressive, and gender-fanflippingtastic clothing solutions for all kinds of bodies.

Genderplayful cares about custom solutions, and the marketplace will host a lively community that finds and creates those solutions together. Vendors will include indie designers, crafters, clothing makers, tailors, and people selling things from their closets and local thrift stores. Community members will pool notes on what they’re excited about, and vendors will take cues from buyers on what to create more of. The goal is to create a culture-rich gorgeous Internet bazaar for the playful, the exquisite, and the just trying to get dressed in the morning.

About the Fundraiser

If Genderplayful can raise $5,000 in community funding by January 15, 2011, founder Sarah Dopp will commit to making the project a reality. Anything above that baseline number will go toward making the project happen faster and better. (Really, she needs more like $50,000, but she’d rather do it cheaply than wait to do it perfectly.) You can donate at genderplayful.tumblr.com. All financial backers will receive perks based on their contribution level.
