Free Garden Catalogs - my sister wants to be a model (she's 29). isn't she too old?

my sister wants to be a model (she's 29). isn't she too old?

My sister has an autoimmune disease and was on steroids since her early teens. She gained a lot of weight, about 80 or 90 lbs. She is doing much better now & has lost almost 100 lbs. She always wanted to be a model but obviously had that in her way (back in those days plus size models were more rare). She's really petite & a size 0 or 2. She's very pretty but she would probably have to be under 16 begin runway work. Does she have a chance? If so, for what? catalogs, home shopping, surely there are a lot of uses for a model her age? And can you make a living from modeling like this? I'd especially like to hear from older models! who have done this. Thank you so very much :)

I'm not a model but she probably has a chance doing print modelling or even local fashion shows. More than likely, at her age she may not be able to do runway but I don't think she should let age be a determining factor. She's still young and can achieve her dreams!
no they have models of all ages
She might be able to get work doing commercials. The bloom is off the rose for fashion modeling.
well all the models i no started early people have offered me modeling jobs my whole life from the people i talk 2 they say that most older models don't have a chance
She is too old for sure, some starts at 12
Oh my lord, if *my* sister was a size 0/2 (british size 2/4 i think) she wouldn't be living with me, she'd be getting treatment for anorexia. I don't think you can even buy clothes size 2/4 over here! Anyway, i don't know much about modelling, but i wish your sister the best of luck Happy Modelling! xxx
