Don't meet the requirements?

Keep in mind, not everyone is cut out to be a fashion model. Don't let this get you down. There are many opportunities for plus-size women in this field, especially at the local level. You just need a little guidance and a LOT of perseverance. You need to make your own opportunities by marketing yourself to businesses who need plus size models.

If an agency tells you that you are too short, the wrong size, or just don't have the right look, ask if they know of other local agencies who deal with commercial models. People of all ages, heights, looks, types and sizes are used in the commercial modeling. And guess what? Commercial models make more money!

And, if you are determined to make it as a top fashion model, keep trying! There are always exceptions to the rule. Just be prepared for a long road.
