Casting plus size models

Plus-size and curve modelling is one of the fastest-growing parts of South African retail casting, driven by brands whose customers have never seen themselves in a catalogue. The work spans e-commerce, lingerie, activewear and full campaigns. Measurements are listed on every profile so fit can be confirmed before a fitting is booked.

Common questions

What counts as plus size in South African casting?

Most retailers cast from roughly size 14 upwards, though fit models are cast to a specific sample size. Every profile lists measurements, so cast to the numbers rather than the label.

Is there real demand for plus-size models here?

Yes, and it's growing. Local retail and e-commerce brands increasingly shoot their full size range, and inclusive campaigns are now standard rather than exceptional.

How do I cast for a fit shoot?

State your sample size in the enquiry and ask the model to confirm current measurements — bodies change, and the profile is a guide. Agree fitting time separately from shoot time.
