THE TRENDSETTER

I received a lot of emails asking me how to become a plus size model??? Since I can’t really email everyone, I thought it would be a better idea just to post it for all to see. There are some really important requirements to becoming a plus size model. There are a ton of agencies looking for plus size models. If you’re lucky you may find a company like Torrid that are also looking for models.

REQUIREMENTS

Height Between 5′8″ and 6′0″
5′9″ is pretty much minimum for larger markets though Wilhelmina in NYC does represent a few girls who are 5′7″ and 5′8″.

Size 12, 14, 16
Sizes 10 and 18/20 are also used, but are not as common.

Toned
You may be a “plus size,” but you may have to be in shape if you model swim wear, lingerie or fitness gear.

Proportionate
You should be in proportion. Your bust, waist and hips should be about ten inches apart in size (i.e. 42-32-42) or very close. In addition, the shorter you are, the smaller your size should be. Someone who is 5′8″ would be expected to wear a smaller size (12/14) than a taller model. It is all about length and proportion.

PLUS SIZE MODELING COMPANIES

I hope this information helps those looking forward to be gorgeous plus size models. Let me know if this information was helpful. GOOD LUCK!!!

I’m actually speechless right now and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. I will let readers be the judge of that.

Yellow can be a very daring hue for those who are afraid to be seen. Yellow is a great color for all shapes, sizes, and skin tones. I personally think it’s a great color and everyone should own at least one garment of that hue.

Will you be sporting yellow???

Ummm, I really don’t know about this look. The dress itself is very unique but those shoes are really hurting my vision. Sometimes the ideas should stay in the closet and NEVER make it to the red carpet.

What do you think of Kimberly Stewart’s outfit???
