This spring, Seattle debuted what is being dubbed the “Seattle Fat Mall,” an amalgam of stores geared towards larger bodies. It’s also a place where plus-sized shoppers can find clothing and accessories that fit, without judgment or the frustrating realization that many retailers don’t stock styles in larger sizes.

The mall, now open on Thursdays and Saturdays, was the brainchild of sisters Alyss and Amber Seelig, founders of Curvy Cactus Clothing, and Candace Frank and Kwame Phillips-Solomon, who founded Chub Rub Clothing.

Seelig and Frank join Here & Now‘s Robin Young to talk about the new venture.
