The 31-year-old model took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a photo of herself posed in underwear and a T-shirt in celebration of her size 22 figure.

Working mom: Earlier this week, Tess's partner Nick Holliday shared a sweet photo of her breastfeeding their son Bowie
Tess also tagged Eff Your Beauty Standards, the body positive Instagram account that she created to honor all figures, not matter what shape, size or color.
The mother-of-two is no stranger to posting photos of lingerie-clad body on social media, and her latest selfie sees her posed in front of her shower with her T-shirt tied behind her, exposing her stomach.
The plus-size star has been candid about her ongoing struggle to find a balance between motherhood and her career as a model, but when it comes to her postpartum body she said she thinks it is 'absolutely ridiculous' to try and lose weight as soon as you give birth.
Ever since having her second child last June, Tess has been using her social media platform to open up about her daily struggles as mom, including coming to terms with her postpartum figure.
Teenager: Tess posed a throwback photo of herself from when she was an 18-year-old living in Seattle on Thursday
Changes: Tess recently opened up about having to 'relearn' her body after giving birth to her second child last June
'I definitely felt like I had to relearn who I was, and relearn my body and how clothes fit on me,' she told Romper. 'I think trying to lose weight and do all of that after is absolutely ridiculous.
'[Your children are] only little for so long and even though it’s hard, I think it’s way more important to cherish those moments than it is worrying about how you look or what size you are,' she added.
The next day, Tess posted a photo herself when she was only 18 years old, writing: '#tbt to when I was 18 living in Seattle & my AOL screen name was "StarGazinPunk" & my style was [100 per cent].
Wise worse: Tess said it is more important to 'cherish' the moments with your children when they are young then worry about your size or weight
Adjustment: The mother-of-two said she also had to relearn how clothes fit her body following Bowie's arrival
Using her platform: Tess often shares photos of the ups and downs of motherhood on her Instagram page
'What was your embarrassing screen name? Did you have an awesome 'away' message too?! I FEEL SO OLD!' she added. 'Check out my awesome lip ring #myspacedays#wherearemyeyebrowstho.'
When she first became a mother in 2007, she was raising her now-10-year-old son Rylee as a single mom without any support from his father.
Ten years and another child later, Tess has not only achieved her dream career, but she also has her fiancé Nick to share her life with.
She and her partner are both advocates for removing the stigma from breastfeeding, and earlier this week, Nick posted a stunning photo of Tess nursing Bowie, using only the hashtags '#normalizebreastfeeding' and '#effyourbeautystandards' to caption the post.
The heartwarming picture sees Tess wearing a vintage red hat covered in plastic cherries and a saffron sweater while Bowie is curled up in her arms.
