Fatfur Gala Summer '26: Whalewatchin and fit spotting!

For those who don't know! The Fatfur Gala is a lil thing that got started over on Bsky a while back, it's a cute community-wide event where artists get together and celebrate fat bodies and fashion, creating unique looks based on whatever the Gala's theme is for the event! (Previous themes Include Streetwear and Fantasy fits)

This year's Gala is set to run on on the 26th of June, and it's going for a "Summer Days" theme! It's a bit preemptive to be making a thread but I though having a space to show off any favorite favorite fits we find/discuss the theme would be nice!

And hey, while we're waiting for the festivities to kick off, got any beach-y fits of your critters *you* wanna show off? Maybe a summer trope in fatfur you really like n wanna talk about? Now's the best place to share, beheh!

THIS is a certified deercowsheepie classic....

Might I nominate this lovely beach fit from Catarsi a few years back? <:

Marshmallow is an absolute fan favourite~

Forfeit all snacks to the dragon

Cuuuute, I'm always a sucker for a classic swimsuit!

As for me, It's not exactly made bespoke for the event, but this outfit I got Clem in has always screamed "Summer" to me - Bright 'n vibrant color, lots of air-y frills for the breeze, a lovely sunhat, it's really seemed like a lovely look for a boardwalk cafe binge!

Art by the forum's very own Ripley/Chubunited!

Oh, I've actually got a little project for this Gala event sketched up, but I don't know if I want to share it right now. I do wanna finish it up by the deadline at least, I mainly need to figure out some outfit colors and maybe a little background for it.

a// ohh, i've been hearing a little bit about that and wasn't ever sure what it actually is. maybe if there's a winter one i could join in on the fun. as for outfits, i can't deny an affinity for swimsuits.

I think they want to hold them a bit more scheduled/frequently, the bsky bio of the official acct mentions being "Biannual" which reads to me as twice a year!

As for the pics, you're legit always the first critter I think of whenever I see catboots art, you've very much become the model for them in my head, beheh

and GOSH that boot one destroys me, I adore how pillow and just, sprawling your critter is there,, and as always Boot's expression game is top notch... you're really bringing out the best in that swimsuit, imo!

Nothing like staying cool and fresh in the heat. Even plants need some sun and plenty of water, hehe!

I also wanna shout out! Yellow Hellion's work for the Gala this year, ADORE the fashion tastes on display, they're really sleek while still feeling breezy, and really loving on fat bodies!
