Make companies have plus size models to model sizes from size 12 and upwards.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

It’s lovely seeing models that are a size 8 but how are we meant to know what it’s going to look like on a size 12 or 14 before buying it
I think this should happen because if they carry on showing really skinny models people may think that they have to be skinny or that if they are a bigger size than an 8 it won’t look good on them

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
At the moment, it's up to businesses and other organisations to decide which models to employ.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, to require companies who use models to employ models who are size 12 and upwards.
