Are you interested in becoming a plus size model? Well, we thought we would throw you some helpful hints about the business. Preparation and Grooming is everything when it comes to plus size modelling. Physical appearance and a well proportioned, toned body is vital even at a plus size. So keep a daily exercise routine in place like walking or yoga. Keep your finger and toenails manicured and with light neutral colours or french polished. Your hair should be stylish, trendy and well kept, and skin should be clear, smooth and hydrated. So be sure to eat healthy and get plenty of rest. Straight white teeth are a must, and make-up should be subtle and flattering. A plus models style should be trendy and current but not extreme. For example, no extreme hair design, piercings, or tattoos.
Some Agency Requirements
Height should range from 5'8'' to 6'0''
Beautiful face and bone structure
clear, healthy skin
toned body
age ranging from teens to middle aged
average dress size is between 12 and 16
high fashion plus is usually size 8 to 10
Submission of Photos
A good modelling agency will never ask you for money. If a modelling agency asks for money to obtain photos, a portfolio or modelling classes, you need to find another agency!! Good agencies will never charge you anything directly. If they feel you need guidance they will suggest a good photographer. They will only advise you, not charge you.
When submitting photos to an agency you can simply use the camera that you currently have, they do not need to be professional photos. Take a clear shot of your face, wearing subtle or little make-up, and keeping hair simple, and take a photo of your entire body. Wear clothing that is fitted and clean lined, to show your figure. Do not pose nude!! These pictures will be disposed of immediately. Keep your attire classy and trendy, and if you have great legs you may want to wear a classy short skirt or shorts. Remember, the people looking at these pictures are skilled professionals. They know what you will look like after a make-up artist and stylist get done with you. They judge your bone structure, features and body proportions.
If an agency turns you down, try another. Several plus size supermodels were turned down by an agency or two. If you don't fit the criteria of what agencies are looking for, and feel you still have that beautiful something try submitting photos for a commercial model. Commercial models come in all shapes, sizes and from many cultural backgrounds. Never stop following your dream.
