Anyone worked as a fitting model? What did you get paid?

I recently enquired to a reputable agency about being on their books as an 'extra' as I work part time, term time only and thought it might be something I might be able to do over summer. I sent them an e-mail with details of my size, age etc but got an e-mail back from their modelling division saying that they are curently looking for someone of my size (plus size) for a booking next week - it is a 'fitting' job where if I have the right measurements a clothes designer/manufacturer will try clothes on me to see how they fit. Has anyone done this? Was the money good? It is 2 full days the job and am just wondering if it is worth driving an hour and getting DH to use 2 days hols to do it?

Thanks

Ooh how exciting.
I've no idea!

I spoke to man once about doing this, never did it though.
It was when I was younger (19)and slimmer.

Sorry I can't help. Can't you call the agency you got the job with and ask them ? How did you know you were the right size?

they only know my dress size as I put in in my e-mail so they want me to go in to their office asap to check measurements etc for the job.
