5'5 can I model?

Posts: 4

Hi

I know I'm probably too short for serious modeling, but I know that everybody lies about their height a bit, so do you think I can get away with it? My measurements are 32 24.5 35. I have olive skin, green eyes, light brown hair. I look similar to Jessica Alba, I guess. I have long legs, so people think I'm taller than I am. No pictures, yet. Smile

sorry, 5'5" is too short.
maybe petite modeling, but that depends on how you look, and your measurements.

That's what I've been figuring. Thanks

Hate to tell you this but you're; right now, at the worst possible height to do any type of modeling. Too tall for petite, (5'0-5'4) and too small for commercial modeling (5'7)

Well there are two types of petite modeling. One is what agencies consider petite which is 5-7-5'8.5. Then there is petite modeling, a virtually non-existant market who's recquirements are 5'0-5'4.

Agree. Look for agencies specialising in or who require petite models.

Good luck.

Does Ford actually do anything with petite models?

Not really. it's a tiny market.

Devon Aoki is 5'6'' though. But she's perfect.
