Real peeps

I would like to commend you for featuring average-sized women in your editorial and advertising content. The stylish mature model Judith Maria Bradley on page 153 [ELLE Fashion] and the feature on Melissa McCarthy in your September 2015 issue are an inspiration to those of us who do not resemble models. Most readers are normalsized, and despite our less-than-perfect physical attributes, we still have an abiding interest in fashion and want to present ourselves accordingly.
