Do You Meet the Criteria for Plus Size Modeling?
Do I Meet the Criteria for Plus Size Modeling?
Generally, modeling agencies are looking for plus size models who are between 5’9” and 6’0” and wear a size 10/12 to 14/16. Having said that, there ARE plus models who are making a living and do NOT fit the above criteria; I know these women personally and can attest to the fact that they have had to work harder to get to where they are in their careers.
Note: Although PLUS Model Magazine does not work with models smaller than a size 12, there are brands using models as small as size 6!
Plus Size Fit Modeling Criteria
Fit models are generally 5’7” and size 18, 20 and sometimes a 22.
Where Are Plus Models Working?
Most of the work for plus size models are in catalog, online, print campaigns for specialty brands and designers, followed by showroom, fit, and magazine editorials.
General Information for All Plus Models
You must have good skin, teeth and nails. You should not have a lot of tattoos/piercings and your hair should be healthy and in a natural color (blond, black/brown, red).

Thanks for this amazing article! I was looking for this exact info!
I am 25, 5’2, size 24. I am beautiful, smart, and charismatic. I have a natural talent for camera action. I have seen some girls WAY bigger (and uglier) than me modeling lingerie. I was wondering how they got so lucky if there’s a “criteria”?
I don’t think its fair that shorter plus size women can’t model. I am 5’3 and I meet all the requirements of plus size modeling except my height. I can throw a sexy pair of heels on & flaunt my stuff…who cares about height!
I meet all the criteria to be a plus size model but I’m only 5’1 and I don’t think it fair that you have to be that tall. I think that you should change that. I am only 22 and I’ve recently gotten into plus size modeling and its hard to find anybody around here that does that. I have also seen plus size models as short as me get into. I would love to make a career out of this!
