Uh, aren't the measurements there for a reason? I doubt they'd call it requirements if it wasn't... required. It's probably so a dress won't look like a top on someone 5'9 and so the girls can look somewhat uniform.

Anyway, I fit everything except my bust is 34in. Oh well haha.

Too bad I live in Georgia or I'd totally do it, even though I'm not exactly into Gyaru. And my shoe size is a 7.5/8, I couldn't squeeze into a 7.

I don't really see why people would get mad over this, they are obviously looking for runway-type models therefore they need people with those body types. But of course tumblr butthurt and social justice crusading will ensue.

Meh, luckily I'm not into gyaru so I'm not disappointed or whatever. I'mtoo tall and my hips are too big, but I have the waist, bust, and shoe size for it.

The requirements don't bother me because obviously they already have clothes in mind for it, and it would be pretty stupid if the models didn't fit the intended outfits. Measurements are there for a reason.

Best of luck to anyone who does meet the requirements. I heard the fashion show people last year were kind of hard to work with.

You make it sound like "runway modeling" is some kind of sport with exact standards and regulations. It's just showing clothes to people. Just because you're used to hearing about victoria's secret models being tall and gaunt doesn't mean every show has to be that exact same way.

And if your friend has never seen a model who is 5'7" and has a 23" waist then I suggest she stop modeling solely in her basement.

I feel like this is a thinly veiled attempt at getting mostly Asian models.

inb4 a bunch of girls post saying they're the same measurement/'omg models are that size'. Yes. But they're rare, and the fact that they aren't going through an agency makes it obvious they aren't looking for professional models.

Here's the thing, though. They want small, thin nerds.

Without busted faces (not on the list but you know it).

And on top of that, confident and outgoing enough to apply.

Do you see how unlikely all of these things are together? I would like to see the people who are running it, because I doubt they could even meet their own requirements.

I almost think that the clothing being shown will actually belong to the wardrobe of whoever is putting it on. So you'll be wearing already-worn shoes by the organizer, and in her size.

This would also make sense if it's being put on my multiple people. You'd still be wearing their shoes. As I said before in this thread though, I highly doubt any of them meet their own requirements.

A lot of gal brands 'discriminate' full stop, the clothes tend to be smaller than the Japanese average, their largest clothes only just about hitting the Japanese average. Being super thin in order to look tall and lean without necessarily being tall is a gal thing. It's an exclusivity thing, especially with the top gal brands. I saw a Japanese documentary a while back that noted the ambition of a lot of gals is to be as thin as possible.

It's tough looking skinny if you're on the short side, even with a 24 inch waist. I'd be willing to bet they weren't larger than around 24 inches in the waist. Could be wrong of course. Regardless, fashion models are meant to represent the 'pinnacle' of the fashion they represent - the brands for the fashion show still probably equate thinness with the ideal, even if all their customers do not conform to such standards.

This has already been clarified. And a 24.5 is an LL, NOT L.

>>6731131
I agree, anon. There may be gals who are pressured to be 80 lbs but it's like the other anon said, it's to look lean, not because they cant fit in the clothes. Most of these gal brands come in free size... I can understand a 32-33 bust requirement since my 35 bust barely fits my liz Lisa/ank rouge/ingni etc. one pieces, but a 22in waist is unnecessary to fit in these clothes. A 25in waist fits just fine and will be a lot more common in the community they're targeting. The height could be shorter too, the shop staff that helped me today was 4'11 and everything looked like the perfect length on her. Maybe it's like what someone else said, that the clothes are premade to a model/creator already so they need absolutely specific measurements. But if it's for the average gal brand, they really should be more lenient if they want to have a big pool to choose from.

>You guys make it sound like is rare for someone to have those measurements.

We make it sound that way because it is. Your average con goer isn't a model, they don't have these measurements. This isn't a professional casting call for an agency, this is simply people putting up a listing wanting models.

You will find measurements closer to what they want with an agency. Not with the public. On top of that, many official measurements you can find for models are off by two or so inches, although that's more common with ~super~ models (think Victoria's Secret, they're notorious for subtracting 2-3 inches from a waist measurement when they post it).

And for compensation, you get a four day badge. That's it. Models like to get paid, or at least be able to add photos to their portfolio. But that's no hint here that the photos will even turn out well.

Her waist is incredibly small, but not 18 inches. They played that up for the show, because, well, it's reality TV. Here's an article where she states her waist measurement: http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/exclusive-ann-ward-talks-about-winning-america-next-top-model-11781.php

>Reality TV World: So for the record, how tiny is your waist?
>Ann Ward: I think I got it measured recently and it's like 23" or something.

And here's the thing, any model is going to know their own measurements, so the fact that she says 'or something' basically means it's probably around 25.

Still incredibly small for her height, but no 18 inches.

I meet all those measurements (live in the South, though), and I'm still kinda side eying them right now. Like someone earlier said, your average congoer isn't going to be that small, and, even if they are, who's to say they'll be outgoing enough to put themselves up to that? I sure as hell couldn't. They really are sabotaging themselves being so strict, especially since it's probably completely unnecessary.

Do people realize if you had that waist at that height you would be world-record setting? Obviously people with such small waists won't always mention it to a record book, but even the smallest recorded un-corseted waist isn't 18 inches.

Until pictures with a measuring tape, I don't believe that anyone on CGL is going to have a <21 inch waist.

The average women's waist size in Japan is 25 inches, height 5"2, weight 53.5kg. This girl from a street snap fashion site is pretty average, may not look like it but her waist is only 25 inches. She doesn't exactly look thin and lean in all honestly, perfectly healthy and normal but it's not really what Japanese fashion brands would want to see on the catwalk, even for a low-key show. For better or worse, they want to stick to those measurements to show off their clothes to their best, 'best' in this instance being on women that look lean and on the slim side, rather than average.

I am both of those anon... And 22 inches may be reasonable on someone who is 4'11, but 24.5 is pretty reasonable for a girl who is 5'4-5'6. A pool for girls 5'-5'7 would have probably been more appropriate, given how short Japanese dresses tend to be.

24.5 is actually standard for size L. Check the Baby the Stars Shine Bright, or Liz Lisa, or Ank Rouge shop sites~
