I’m 167cm and have a relatively large bust. I’m 48kg and I usually have to get an L or XL to accommodate the chesticles and my height. Most clothing brands here usually only carry S and M, anything larger than that is hard to find. I have to resort to buying men’s t-shirts or spending $70 for a blouse. I don’t think it’s really fair if brands start charging more because I can’t help my stature. I can’t magically make myself an A cup, make myself 155cm and make my waist 20 inches, it’s just not going to happen.
I used to run an online fashion store where I sell clothing I sew. I charge every customer the same. That extra 2 or 3 inches of fabric isn’t going to cost me that much more.

If you implement policies you have to look at who they have an effect on beyond the obvious. In the U. S. and in many developed nations, poor people suffer from obesity way more than rich people. Hence you would increase the amount of money poor people have to pay for clothes and further encourage the already large wealth gap in the U. S.. So no, people come in different sizes, lets make it equal for all of us.
We can speak of items becoming expensive when it's merely about objects but this has to do with people and how they may be affected by this. Are we saying that the smaller size should be cheaper? I just think price it all the same there's no valid point in this because then all of a sudden each size would have to have a specific price which is just creating more difference and segregation.
In theory, if you were charging on cost per square foot of material, you could charge more for more material used. The labour cost would be the same, more or less. I think though that the cost increase would be so minor that the extra revenue wouldn't be worth it considering the loss of business you'd risk by implementing such a pricing structure.
a smaller size may use less fabric but the biggest production cost is the stitching and cutting which will be about the same so maybe smaller clothes do cost a few pennies less to produce but overall by the time they are hanging on the rail they all have the same profit margin

Well, typically the way most clothing retail stores operate is they buy clothes from Bangladesh and mark the price up 25,000% and sell it to complete fucking idiots, so I guess it really doesn't matter what they charge for clothes.
Somebody somewhere will always be stupid enough to pay.You are paying for the "brand" not the fabric when you buy clothes so i don't see a point to increase the price depending on size
It should be proportional to the difference in cost it takes to make the piece of clothing. Like for a t shirt, they should be similar in price, but frilly and fancy dresses should have a higher price gap in my opinion.
More materials cost more money so yes. If im making an omlet for a five year old and an omlet for andre the giant one is going to cost more than the other so they dont have the same price tag.
Price is not a function of cost; it's a function of demand. There is no "should"; there is only what the market will bear, and that's fluid.
Unfortunately, bigger clothes need more materials that cost more money. Since I can sew, I know the difference.
It's like a bag of chips. The small ones are cheaper and the big ones cost more. I mean it's pretty simple.
Only when a company is effectively making a tailored item, like with pants with a 42" inseam.
No. It shouldn't. All sizes should be the same. How the hell would it be fair for a larger person to pay more?
Why should it cost more? Its the same product, its like saying the small should cost less than the large because the difference in materials used
No, it'd be unfair and a scam to charge more for plus sized clothing.
I've never seen that larger size clothes cost more, the same item in the same shop costs the same no matter the size where I live.
Most clothing companies have differing measurement requirements for their sizes. I bought one pair of pants from one manufacturer, and another from another manufacturer of the same listed measurement and they were not the same size
I think if it's the same item being sold, it has to very in sizes, and you shouldn't sell each size at a different price.
A Bit More Yeah. Since It's More Fabric And Whatever.
Well yeah because more material is used to make larger clothing
Only if those same companies charge less than half price for kids clothing since it uses much less material.
Larger is more material so I'd say charge a little more
ya, if u wanna be a fatty then u gotta pay the toll
In my case (tall sizes) it invariably already does!
