First, thanks for coming by and reading ...Hi there! First, thanks for coming by and reading my blog as well as for your kind words. As for me being a fit model, I think that the category has changed. More companies want to see how an item fits on a plus size body that is a standard per size. As a size 3X/4X woman, companies are seeing the value of having me try things on to see how the item fits. I visited On The Plus Side and was delighted to see that they had two dress forms, one a size 24 and the other a custom one with a visible belly. I think there is a space for ALL of us to be fit models as it would help companies better fit their customers. We are all not muscular and as it is, sizing is so inconsistent across the board. Plus size bodies are hard to fit because we all carry our weight in different places. There is no "cookie cutter" plus size body. So yes, I do think I belong in the fit model body world but my job is vastly different than yours. At Gwynnie Bee, the clothing is already made but I try them on to see how it fits after the fact and then write about the fit from my perspective. As I said before, the fit model world is expanding and evolving, which is so beneficial to the plus size customer because it will result in a better fit across the board. Keep up the great work!!!! You are so needed in this industry.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161128116630648835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063275319434112588.post-34877929258003779652017-05-12T12:29:57.311-04:002017-05-12T12:29:57.311-04:00I just read your story. I bit confused, you said ...I just read your story. I bit confused, you said your a fit model? A fit model is muscular and define by their muscle tone, and waistline. Please I mean no disrespect, but as a woman who is a full figure fit woman, you do not fall into our category as a "Fit" model. You are however are a plus size model. The confusion with people and the fashion industry has women crossing into zones where they surely do not belong...the zone of confusion of plus fit full figure or thin. You write beautifully and I enjoyed reading your article and browsing your website. Keep up the beautiful work my Lady. Until next time stay forever YOU.
