I am a fattie. But I understand why stores do what they do.
It makes sense - even from a non-fattie point of view. XXL and so forth actually DO use a lot more fabric. I don't know how many of you folks out there do any sewing (very few, I would guess), but I can tell you that the difference in fabric use between a medium article of clothing and an XXL article of clothing is substantial.
The cost in maufacturing plus-size clothes is higher than that of manufacturing regularly sized clothing.
I am unsure if this is actually the case, but I imagine that would explain why the cost is different.
I don't wear XXL, believe it or not. But I can tell you that as a fattie, paying an extra $2 is not bad for a lot more fabric - even if you want something to just hang off of you, like a sweatshirt or whatever.
