A 77kg woman selling extra-large women's clothes online has done thriving business since she started just over a year ago.
'Every time I post new items on the web, dozens of customers will make orders,' said Ada Lai Siu-choi, 27, who has premises in a Tsuen Wan industrial building where customers can try on the clothes.
'Our sales amount to HK$40,000 to HK$50,000 a month.
'My customers buy at least one item when they visit, and sometimes a dozen or more. It is definitely a large market. Most large-sized clothes in boutiques are old-fashioned.'
Ms Lai said her customers were aged from their teens to their 50s and some orders came from the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia. She has more than a thousand regular buyers.
'I've been fat since I was a little girl. But as long as my mother bought me lovely clothes, I thought it was OK,' she said.
