A plus size model is a person who models plus size clothing and other accessories. They are also known as full figure models, extended size models, and oversized models. They mainly model for plus size clothing companies, but may also do photo shoots for stock photography, cosmetics, home products, footwear, and watches. These models are subject to the same expectations as regular models. They are generally expected to be over 5’9, have good skin, well proportioned bodies, as well as good bone structure. The only difference between the regular model and the plus size is that plus size women have larger bust, waist, and hip measurements than regular models. They also perform similar jobs to the smaller models. They can be expected to model for advertisements, magazines, fashion shows, and commercials.
More modeling is becoming an increasingly popular phenomenon. This is because the world is seeing more plus size people. The more plus-size people in the world, the greater the demand for plus-size clothing. Therefore, more plus-size models are needed to advertise and sell plus-size clothing.

In 1997 another magazine dedicated to corpulent women was launched, titled Mode Magazine. The best thing about this magazine was that it often attached self-esteem related quotes to the photos of the models. Today, magazines like LouLou and Vogue have yearly plus size fashion issues to help boost the confidence of plus size women.
