Our friends over at The Budget Fashionista recently posted about a topic I had to weigh in on. The subject?  Too Fat to be a Plus Size Model?  Now, we all remember last month when Glamour caused a huge stir by posting this picture of the beautiful Lizzie Miller.  Check it out – does she even look plus sized to you??  No, she is a size 12/14 and is yes, smaller than the average woman in the US, plus she is tall, young and beautiful!  How can this woman be among the LARGEST plus sized models?  Shocking.

Not to toot our own horns but at www.lagrandedame.com, we only use models that are truely plus sized.  Size 14 and more often than not, significantly larger.  Why?  A couple of reasons.

1. We want our customers to know how the clothes are actually going to look on a plus sized body.  Seems obvious, right?
2. We want to show everyone that plus sized women are beautiful too.  We want to prove that women can be stunning at any size.

Check out this picture of size 18 Tamikka.  Is she too fat to be a plus size model?
