This is awesome. The largest I have been is a size 20 – 22 and I must admit that clothing shopping was depressing as its so hard to find nice things. I have lost 15kg over the last year and I am now a 16 – 18 and still struggle with certain things. I will see something I like but find it only goes up to a small size 16

Good on you Target, well done!

I too would like to lose weight so that I can be healthier and clothes will fit better, but until that happens I’d like to know that I can walk into a store like Target and not have trouble finding clothes that fit. I applaud their decision to stock larger sizes.

Certainly adds realism to ads/

For many many years I saw my older sister growing up with such trouble on finding some nice clothes to go to a concert in or anything. Store after store, and I was able to walk into whatever store and get whatever I wanted. I was a size 10, she was a size 18/20.
I am now in my mid 20’s and am a size 18 and never imagine it was this hard to find nice clothing that fits right. And that’s now, with stores starting to go into bigger clothes, it truly is great to see!!
Being a big girl isn’t a bad thing if you are healthy!! Its time we embrace it more and more =)

Plus sized models are long overdue. The average Austrlian woman has been above a size 12 for many years now. I applaud Targets decision. No more body loathing I say!

I have been a Postie Fashion consultant for nearly 13 years and they have catered for larger ladies ever since their inception. Their size range goes from 6 to 28 and you be bigger and be very beautiful. Their styles suit all shapes and sizes. Contact me on facebook by pm and let me show you how . They have a huge summer sale on at the moment with lots of great deals. Check out the new Spring and Summer catalogues on http://www.postie.com.au

It’s about time. Target is to be commended for embracing diversity and not shaming it.

Yeh size 0 ffffttt, what is that, lol, great to see and hear.

Great to see and about time!

It’s great! I still wish sizes were determined by inches like menswear is. 40 inch is 40 inch no matter wear you go. But a 16 here is a 20 here or a 14 there.

Yay, and about time too. Having been a 24-26 for too many years than I can remember and now having reduced to an 18 you would think I feel great buying clothes but quite often I don’t “see” anything that looks good. Let’s face it, we shop with our eyes first and the first thing we see are the mannequins. Not being the tiny mannequin size can be be most frustrating and yes we bigger girls also want to buy nice clothes.
Congratulations Target. Let’s hope other stores take note.

  yes can i add that you also like to wear fashionable clothing, not bags or anything that makes a person feel frumpy.

This is great good on you target I am a bigger person and it is hard to find nice clothes that fit and target has a great range

plus sized

yes times are changing for sure

Well done Target, i always find great +size clothes for me and my girls, just because the clothes are made by asian ladies they need to fit us Aussie girls size 16+

This is good to see thx target

Well done Target. They’re doing a great thing here and also reinforcing to our daughters that women come in all shapes and sizes.

Yayyyyy! I often laugh at the mannequins and how unrealistic they are. They often display too, an unreal looking garment or outfit once you notice the pins pulling in the waist, etc. I’m all for real-looking mannequins to make the rest of us feel normal/better.

It’s about time the market come to the sense and show respect to the ‘plus size’ people.
