Asher Tessier Proud Mary is such an important and necessary space. I’ve never felt more at home at a store. As a fat person, going clothes shopping can be a daunting and stressful experience. At Proud Mary, I was in a sea of choices for the first time in my life. To have choices as a plus size person was so empowering and the owner is a vintage sourcing wizard. Every piece was a win!! I’m so lucky to live close to this space and be able to go to the community events too. It’s not just an amazing store but also a space to commune and exist safely with other fat bodies. Oh and the accessories, silly bumper stickers, and FIRE vintage home goods just add to the beauty of the store. A must see!
