Will they hire me ?

Sending photos to modeling agencies can feel nerve-wracking, especially when you’re wondering, “Will they hire me?” As a plus size model, it’s important to remember that the fashion industry is gradually becoming more inclusive, with many agencies actively seeking diverse talents including plus size and BBW models. From my own experience and conversations with fellow plus size models, finding the right agency means patience and persistence. When submitting your photos, make sure they highlight your unique style and personality. Agencies appreciate clear, natural shots without heavy editing. Including hashtags like #plussizeboutique, #bbwfashionista, #plusizetiktok, #fashionfinds, and #unfiltered can also help connect you with communities and brands supportive of body positivity and plus size fashion. One key tip is to research agencies that specialize or have a good track record with plus size models. Tailoring your submission to those who celebrate diversity raises your chances. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get an immediate response—sometimes agencies receive thousands of submissions and the wait can be long. In the meantime, building your presence on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram with these hashtags can attract attention from smaller boutiques or brands, which is equally valuable for your modeling portfolio. Confidence, authenticity, and resilience are your best assets. The plus size modeling industry is still growing, and your passion and dedication can open doors. Keep pushing and believe that there’s a place for you in fashion.
