"I can never celebrate a success in my career without it being picked apart because of my size or 'my..." — Tess Holliday

People laugh in my face sometimes if they don't know who I am. When they find out that I model they're like, 'well what do you model?'

I have created a life for myself that I only thought was literally a dream.

None of us have it all together; it just seems that way on Instagram.

Designers still won't dress me, and if they do, they will send a dress that doesn't fit me because it's the only sample that they have in their office that we can get to in time, and then it's hard because I don't want to support certain brands that I don't feel like are diverse in their messaging.
