A new Black Country fashion firm is on the hunt for models to show off its new range of clothing designed for curvaceous figures.

Blessd specialises in fashionable clothing, designed to compliment a woman’s natural body shape.

It caters for women with either a bust over a D cup or more generous than average hips in relation to their relatively trim, UK 8-16 waist size.

Managing director of Blessd, Claire Priest says: “Our Get Real! Campaign is the ideal antidote to the size zero epidemic.

“We want to encourage women to be proud of their gorgeous figures. Our fashions flatter their curves and we need models to show them off to their best.

“We really are looking for fit, fabulous women across the whole size range: from an 8 waist with a D cup bust/size 10 hip to a size 16 waist with an FF cup and size 18/20 hip,” she said.

• Details of the competition can be found on the Blessd website www.blessd.com

Candidates will be asked to send a simple headshot and full length photograph of themselves but these do not need to be professionally done.

Applicants must be women aged between 20-40 with a UK size 8-16 waist and a D+ bust and/or generous hips.

Closing date for applications is October 31 and the winners will be announced on November 16.
