The wonderful girls from ASOS broke the brilliant news on Twitter today that ASOS – the folks responsible for the fab (non plus-size) items above – will soon be branching out into the plus size market with new called ASOS Curve. It’ll cater for sizes 20 – 26 and they’re currently looking for fit models, so if you’re a Big Girl who fits the criteria, you could be one step away from ensuring an almost custom-made collection!
ASOS need someone who can spare a couple of hours a week to try on ASOS Curve clothing. They’re looking for someone who’s 5ft 5″ tall with the following measurements:
Bust: 116cm
Waist: 98cm
Hip: 124cm
If you fit the bill, check out the listing on ASOS for details of how to apply. I’ll keep you posted as soon as I hear more details about the range. Judging by the mainline collection, this should be a trend-lead, stylish and affordable range so I can’t wait to see what they come up with!

Even though I’m now a 14 and don’t generally need to head for the plus size ranges, I’m still really keen to hear news like this as I remember how hard it was to find decent, youthful, attractive clothes, cut properly for a fuller figure when I was a 16, 18 and 20.
Sometimes even the plus size ranges get it wrong, with too narrow sleeves and or items that are too short(though thank God I think we’ve seen the last of the tents and smocks that make even some skinny people look heavily pregnant).
Sounds like ASOS is on course to create something actually useful – I’ve forwarded the model details to some people I think might fit the bill.
