Target Australia Size Chart
Australian department stores · women's
Target Australia publishes one womenswear body chart covering sizes 4 to 20, with a letter printed against every size. The letters repeat across neighbouring sizes: both a 4 and 6 are XXS, a 14 and 16 are both L, and an 18 and 20 are both XL, so several Target letter sizes span two numeric sizes. The chart is in centimetres: a size 12 (Medium) fits a 93cm bust, 76cm waist and 101cm hip. Petite sizes (4P to 16P) share the regular chart's measurements with a shorter 72cm average inseam. Target's plus range uses a plus sign and its own chart, running 16+ to 28+, and the measurements differ substantially from the core chart, with a 16+ at 115cm bust versus 103cm for a straight 16. When buying Target secondhand, read the tag carefully: a P or + changes which chart applies.

How Target Australia fits
Target prints a letter against every numeric size, and several letters span two sizes (14 and 16 are both L; 18 and 20 are both XL). Petite (P) sizes share the regular measurements with a 72cm average inseam; the plus (+) range 16+–28+ has its own, larger chart.
Target Australia sizing — frequently asked questions
What is a Target size 12 in cm?
A Target size 12 (Medium) fits a 93cm bust, 76cm waist and 101cm hip on the official centimetre chart, which runs from a size 4 to a 20. Note the step sizes grow slightly at the top of the range: an 18 is a 109cm bust and a 20 is 115cm.
What is the difference between a Target 16 and a 16+?
They come from different charts. A straight 16 on the main womenswear chart is a 103cm bust, 86cm waist and 111cm hip, while a 16+ on the plus chart is a 115cm bust, 103.5cm waist and 121cm hip. The plus range runs 16+ to 28+, so always check for the plus sign on the tag.
What letter size is a Target 14 or 16?
Both are L on Target's own chart. The letters repeat at several points: 4 and 6 are both XXS, 14 and 16 are both L, and 18 and 20 are both XL. That makes the numeric size plus the centimetre chart the reliable reference, not the letter.
