2bh most modelling agencies that deal with children would take you on regardless of your size because they would use you as a "real life model" or as part of a family. if anything just google agencies that deal with real life models. (the one i was with when i was younger isnt around anyore :frown:) If you have a flat tummy and your in good shape it wouldn’t be a problem. your height isn’t a problem because of your age but when your 18 your need to be a bit taller (hopefully your grow)
when you turn 18 (depending on your body shape) you could try 12 plus model management

I just sent snaps, and measurements, like they ask. But never hear anything. So I just presume ''I haven't got that look'' they are looking for. lol

I'm not too fussed, as it's not a career I desperately want to follow, I was just interested in perhaps making a bob or 2, seeing as I have the height. But hey ho not to worry if I don't get anywhere with it.
Hi I'm looking into plus size modeling at the minute and seriously considering signing up to it.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the names of any trusted agencies?
Google never seems to be a reliable source, thanks in advance.

Exactly the same as me. I'm 5'6/5'7, so I'm not 'model tall', but people had said I should try commercial modelling. I never heard anything back though, despite the fact I am very petite measurement wise. Never mind, if you ever try you never know I guess.
