Plus-size people often battle issues with social acceptance and self-esteem. They often have to face bullying, harassment, body-shaming and unsolicited advice. Meanwhile, shopping can be a nightmare, due to a shortage of clothing options.

But social attitudes are changing. Brands are increasingly recognising plus-size fashion as a business opportunity, and understanding that plus-size fashion can be trendy too.

Presenter: Devina Gupta

Contributors: Sakshi Sindwani, plus-size model and fashion influencer; Shefalee Vasudev, author, fashion writer and editor, The Voice of Fashion; Hetal Kotak, CEO, aLL Plus Size Store
