I don't agree she's dropped the modeling aspirations and is just looking for a husband. The entire strawberry dress mess was very obviously a calculated move to get some attention and hopefully go viral. That's how she got famous, after all. She thinks if she can do it again, she will get modeling jobs again, too. But the times have changed, and so has her body - remember that the thing that made her stand out among other plus-size models was that her face looked relatively normal, despite the size of her body. Well, those days are long gone. Her strategy won't work again.
The dress was going viral, so she decided since she wore that dress, she could try to turn all that viral attention to her. But people don't give a shit about a random "model" who wore this once, especially because she's in her 30s and the dress is mostly popular among teenagers/younger 20 somethings, they don't know her and don't know why they should care.
Plus, I doubt many people will like either the attempts at shaming them for not caring about this dress when Tess wore it (even though very few people knew she ever wore it in the first place) nor an article calling them Hitlers for wanting to wear this dress while skinny. Even social justice people want cute dresses to be something fun, not a social justice battle for the sake of some random white scammer.
