So, if you’re curvy in all the right places, have a look at our top requirements and suggestions for making it as a plus size model –
Firstly, as a plus size model you will advertise clothes, accessories and products for the larger woman. Therefore, it is necessary that you represent this look so must be at least a UK size 12 to qualify. Ideally, you will be a UK dress size 12, 14 or 16. Although, sizes 10 and 18/20 are also used, it is far less common.
Secondly, as with any other style of modelling, height plays an important roll. You must be at least 5’6”, however, it is recommended that you are between 5′8″ and 6′0″tall.
Thirdly, you must be toned. Even though you are plus sized, you should represent an idealized plus sized form, think Rubenesque. You will be required to look full figured but may also still model for swimwear, lingerie or fitness gear.
Finally, 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. Your figure should be well balanced and you should not appear top or bottom heavy.
Fortunately for all wannabe plus size models today, there are many new and emerging brands in the market for the fuller figured customer. For example, Evans, Apple Bottoms & Baby Phat have widened the market for the plus size consumer and in so doing have generated an increased rate of work and demand for plus size models. Taking inspiration from successful plus size models such as Kate Dillon (who walked into the offices of Wilhelmina Models in NY and was signed), Models Connect have been promoting aspiring plus size models, helping them on their journey to become the next big thing.
