A fashion shoot in a major US magazine featuring a woman considered too large for even plus-size modelling has reignited the body image debate.
Lizzie Miller bared all in Glamour magazine's September issue with full thighs and a "jelly-belly" on display.
More than 1000 readers have responded since Glamour's September issue came out — almost all of them positively.
"I am gasping with delight... I love the woman on p 194," one wrote.
"Anyone who thinks that this model is unhealthy should have their head examined: she's tall, has an athletic build and a bit of a tummy … end of story," another said.
"A real woman who looks like a person," a fan claimed.
"She makes me want to go out to the rooftop and shout."
Editor in chief Cindi Leive said the response was instantaneous.
"The letters about it started to flood my inbox literally the day Glamour hit newsstands," she said.
"I hope it's the beginning of a revolution."
Although the attention has generated work for 20 year-old model Miller, who is around a US size 12-14, she remains disappointed that she's considered a "plus size" model.
"It's sad — in the industry anything over size six is considered a plus-size," she said.
