What are Pasties and who wears them?
Traditionally, pasties are worn by showgirls and burlesque performers. Today they are still worn by burlesque performers, however they have now become part of both intimate apparel and fashion. Whilst the traditional pasties predominately bore tassles for spinning, over time and with the acceptance of a little more risque into fashion, they have evolved to almost anything the imagination can create. There are many many pasties avaialbe all over the internet, however there are some key points that discriminate between cheap sets and quality sets that you can resuse and wear with confidence.
We source our pasties from a few different Artists, each one of them have been making pasties for some time and are highly experienced. Most are experienced burlsesque performers who started off making them for their own shows! Some are Pinup models who use them in fashion shoots and their portfolios. Apart from our Artists we return to, from time to time we find a set that we just can't overlook and may purchase just the one set from that artist. Our main supplier is artist Truly Fallen, who makes pasties for comfort, to last, and look sensational. Plus the twirls are balanced so that if you are a performer and intend to spin, you can rest assured these will do the job beautifully.
Pasties can be worn under coats or tops that have deep plunging V-lines that may reveal a little more that you anticipated! They are a fanastic way to add some flair to your ensemble. And of course they are ever popular for mardi gras and carnivale events! They are also great for waearing under tops that have revealing material, and suit the clubbing scene as clubwear. Pasties are fun, great for your intimate life as well, and can be custom made. Dressup Costume Parties are also a fantastic avenue for showing off your pasties, we have burlesque, flapper and pinup corsets and costumes, plus other accessories such as feather boas, feather fans, feather fascinators glittering with swarovski crystals, rhinestones, sequins and beaded tassles. Ostrich, peacock and coque feathers are classic burlesque essentials, and feature heavily in any costume.
Many sets from our regular artists are able to be ordered. Please check each description as some are one only designs.
Some Artist produce pasties in different sizes, some only in one general size. All will generally fit, however if you want to have an exceptional fit, when purchasing Truly Fallen Pasties please use the following size chart to order your size.


To apply, we reccommend using a latex based glue as they stay on well and are easy to remove. Remember to clean your skin before applying, and test a small amount of glue before using to attach your pasties to check that you are not allergic to latex. We also sell Truly Fallen's latex based pastie glue in this section.

Items of this nature will never be available in m2mCollections. As they are naturally moulted, depending on the type of bird species the feathers come from, there may be times where long waitiing periods are experienced while waiting for the next moulting season. Also once these feathers are collected, they are then carefully inspected and chosen only when meet the highest level of quality.

About Peacocks and their feathers
Indian Peacocks or peafowl (pavo cristatus) have been domesticated for about 3000 years. Their native range is through India, Pakistan, western China, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
The male peacock sports about 150 of the long "eyed" peacock tail feathers with which most of us are so familiar. These feathers are shed annually during the molt and gathered as a valuable "crop" in many countries through its range.These feathers are actually long extensions of the upper tail covers. They are supported from underneath by the much shorter tail feathers. These feathers grow to be several feet long, but are shed each year just after the breeding season. Each of these long feathers also has a design near its tip which resembles an eye.
The shimmering color of the peacock feather is due to a phenomena known as interference. Each feather consists of tiny flat branches. When light shines on the feather, we see thousands of glimmering colored spots, each caused by minuscule bowl-shaped indentations. This same principle is also responsible for vibrant shimmering colors of butterflies, pheasants, birds of paradise and humming birds. Recreating the unique color of the peacock feather has posed a challenge to artists and ceramists for centuries.
How to tell genuine Swarovski from fake
Swarovski is the leading brand of the best quality machine cut crystals in the world. They also sell figurines made from the crystals, jewelery, pearls, crystal beads in many shapes and rhinestones. So what separates Swarovski from the rest? Quality. Swarovski crystals are flawless, precision cut, and the SPARLKLE. The colours are strong and stunning, they are never lifeless or dull.
Sadly, as with anything of quality, there are many copies and lesser quality elements being passed off as swarovski all over the internet and at any market or bead fair you may go to. Keep in mind that bearing a logo does NOT mean they are genuine as this can, and is, copied. Here are a few things to keep in mind when buying any product described as Swarovski.
- You pay for what you get. Swarovski are not dirt cheap, they simply aren't. They are meticulously crafted and the price reflects this. Anything too cheap is probably not genuine.
- Bubbles are a dead give away. This is a sign of far lesser quality elements. Swaroski elements will NEVER have bubbles. This is simply not genuine.
- Not aligned. The cut in Swarovski is always perfect, due to the high quality precision machinery. Even slightly out of line cuts are absolutely not genuine Swarovski.
- Tags around the holes. Swarovski Crystal Beads have clean holes - there is no 'left over' bits in or around the holes. Very easy to spot and a sure give away.
- The Sparkle Factor. No matter which colour, Swarovski Crystals and Rhinestones possess a breath taking sparkle. AB colours have a lustre evenly with no swirls of colour.
- Scratches and dents simply do not appear on Swarovski Elements. These are definitely a tell tale hallmark of a non genuine element. Stay away from these.
Swarovski provides this detail in relation to the production of their crystals, and forms part of the high qaulity only Swarovski can produce. It is based on this, that we are able to spot a genuine from a fake. When buying Swarovski we have a rule of thumb - expect excellence, accept no less.
"cutting hard materials such as crystal and gems, in such a way that they have a hundred identical facets in several directions, is a very complicated task; each direction of the reflected light must first be calculated by computer, then this has to be simulated in 3D, optimized and finally converted into control programs for complex machinery."
