The latest issue of Elle magazine to land on my doormat proudly announces a whole dossier on "Les Rondes" ie Big girls and features Tara Lynn, a 27 year old American "+size" model on its cover. Whilst we are all aware of the tokenish value of such stories in a magazine which normally promotes fashion's usual love story with thinness, I think Elle should be commended for their effort. Bigger women are as absent from the fashion pages as are older women and it is refreshing to see them looking beautiful and elegant.
The article also shows blogger Stephanie Zwicky (French size 52 - UK size 22 - US size 20):
Model Johanna Dray (French size 48 - UK size 20 - US size 18):
Singer Juliette Katz (French size 48 - UK size 20 - US size 18):
