Tess Holliday is many things and perfect is not one of them. But she loves her imperfections - after all they've formed the woman she is today. Tess's number one rule in life is to love yourself - no matter who you are, where you come from, what your faults may be and what dress size you wear. It's this discovery that has helped her through everything from a difficult childhood, being abused and bullied about her weight, to fending off social media trolls.

Now here in this amusingly candid account, the woman at the forefront of the body positive movement, who has been credited with transforming the fashion industry, explains why you should be happy to make mistakes but learn from them, love your imperfections and be comfortable in your own skin - no matter how much you have!

Plus-size supermodel Tess Holliday's passionate plea for modern women, whoever they are, to be comfortable in their own skin
