        More material, higher price. I don’t see how that’s discriminatory.

        Umm, more material is used when making larger sizes. Why wouldn't they charge more?

        Fat Tax seems logical. More fabric, more sewing time, heavier freight...etc.etc. Clothes Manufacturer Companies should cost average in to avoid these types of issues.

        Over a lifetime "smaller sized" people, on average spend less on healthcare.

        But if it cost more for bigger sizes, wouldn't smaller sizes then be "discounted" by default?

        My guess is there are more plus sized people than petite. Greedy blokes ...

        Plus size clothing uses more fabric, so it would make sense that it would cost more $ due to materials (referring to xxl-type sizes). I'm not trying to be insensitive, and I apoligize if that's now it sounds, but more material = more money.

        isn't it literally more material for people of large status to cover body?
