Larger Sized Clothes Should Cost More That Smaller Sized Clothes.
It's common sense, it takes more fabric to make larger clothes, less fabric to make smaller clothes.

By your topic and description alone you are correct more cost to the producer should equal more cost to the comsumer. Although It will never happen as society is getting larger every year and those who WILL NOT control there weight are soon to be the majority and this will cause smaller clother to sell less and to there by be less profitable so this is why the price for smaller clothes rises to equal that of the larger clothes that cost more to make. I agree again that more material SHOULD cost more but unfortunatly it will probally not happen which is a shame as it would be another incentive for people to get healthier.

It is quite logical since it would cost more money to make a larger garment of clothing.

It's logical.

Frankly that's the same reason it's unfair women's clothing usually costs more than men's - because typically the men's clothing required substantially more materials to make. But of course other factors influence price besides just material - such as fashion or supply and demand. Larger clothes "should" cost more, but they just don't.

I understand what you are saying but it wouldn't work if someone was obese to a state that they couldn't get around and make money so making the price bigger wouldn't help. Of course not all obese people are like that but it wouldn't actually be fair to those who are.

Prices are based on what the market will bear. Men and bigger people are commonly less interested in high fashion. So they are willing to pay less. However in fact at discount outlets larger sizes typically do cost less.

This is stupid! You essentially want to charge people for being overweight? You already said that they don't charge men more because their clothes take more fabric. Cleary, companies are making a profit off of these clothes, no matter what they charge, or they wouldn't be in business. They should be able to charge whatever price they feel is necessary, and currently, the extra fabric isn't enough to make a difference price-wise.
