Lululemon Athletica Inc. is going to sell larger sizes -- a move to increase its customer base and move away from the founder’s vision of making apparel for only a narrow part of the overall population.

The maker of yoga pants and sports bras will expand its selection up to size 20, CEO Calvin McDonald said in a conference call Tuesday to discuss quarterly earnings. Currently, the sizing chart for the company only goes up to 14 for most products.
