An inspirational Wimbledon woman is hoping her confidence in her figure will help others get over their body issues.

Curvy 24-year-old Sophia Jenner, has beaten hundreds of D+ hopefuls from across the UK to line up in the final 10 hopefuls for the the Star in a Bra 2011 title.

Taking part in a professional photoshoot, despite no previous experience, Sophia has called on her home borough to support her in her quest to become the face and bust of fuller-figured brand Curvy Kate.

Going against the grain, Curvy Kate are championing the UK’s shapely figures after finding most fashion brands lack in showing a true representation of how a bra fits and looks on a bigger bust.

And Sophia, a 32FF cup, said dealing with her own body issues encouraged her to take part in the competition.

"Growing up with so many body issues, and having a very difficult time fitting in at school, has pushed me as an adult to bare myself in my undies to the world, and show that confidence, kindness, happiness and health matter so much more than striving to be something you’re not," she said.

Voting on the final 10 contestants begins tomorrow and anyone wishing to back Sophia should visit www.facebook.com/curvykate
