They are all what some people would call as “overweight” or “plus-size” and yet they manage to be more fashionable than the slimmest girls around. These girls are all under the height of 5′ 7″ and so come in the category of curvy supermodels with comparatively average or short height.

Before we move on, it is important to understand what a model is and what qualifies one to be a plus size model. In simple terms, a model is someone who helps advertise or promote products and services, in particular, fashion clothing. They use their bodies for displaying these products and they’re paid for this work.

A plus size model was traditionally defined as someone who’s above size 12, however, this definition can vary from one country to another or even from one society to another within the same country. A few decades back, girls were expected to be taller than 6 feet and be incredibly skinny to be considered for the modeling industry, however, as times have changed, so have these standards. Today, any girl who aspires to be a model can choose to do so, no matter what her age, size, height or color is. Have a look at these ladies who are breaking all these stereotypes and are fighting body shamers with their success and positive body image.
