Plus-Size Model Treat: Laura Wells

Name: Laura Wells

Size: 14 AUS (10-12 US)

Extra info: Laura’s body was used to carve out the new mannequins for the lingerie sections at department stores Myer and David Jones in Australia.

A Quote from Laura: “I used to cut the labels out of my clothes because I was so embarrassed at being a size 14. There used to be such a stigma about having a size 14 body. Most of the clothing stopped at a size 14 … and it was always a small 14. “

Sisters Courtney and Laura Wells – Straight Size & Plus-Size Models in One Editorial

This sounds interesting! Let’s find out more from Huffington Post:

Cosmopolitan Australia  had a family reunion of sorts in its August issue, bringing together two sisters kept separate in fashion mags due to their different sizes. Both Courtney and Laura Wells are models, but Laura is plus-size and usually relegated to special spreads. In this editorial, both girls show off the season’s trends on their slim and curvy bodies.

In case you’re curious, Laura is a size 14 (AUS) and Courtney is a size 10 (AUS). Watch the video where Courtney explains that she and her sister have lived in the same house and eaten the same food all their life (and ended up at different sizes and with different labels) – then tell us what you think!

There are more pictures after the jump!
