I don't think it would take too much longer to produce (although there is a time increase as you have to stitch together larger swats of fabric). If it's machine made it's probably only a matter of seconds, different if handmade.
Weight and material used though.. That's another story. Looking at those Asian ads where a normal person fits into one pant leg, we can conclude that it's at least twice the size if not more.
Further, will we grab 'real' sizes or vanity ones? The vanity sizing in a 6 is probably not super big (tehee) but a size 22 will probably be a size 28 or something in reality (cause hams vanity size everything. They don't like to be reminded of how fat they are), meaning the results would be kinda skewed.
As far as eco goes :there was one chick who bought fat clothes from second hand/trift stores and repurposed them into clothes for herself. Granted she wasted a lot of material (unless she has saved it for some other project) but her clothes looked good. Ofc fats reed about how she fatshamed them.

Wow that's genius. Fatties are so butt hurt when shirts cost more for their fat asses. I could totally buy a 3x shirt and sew it into 3 different long shirts. 3 shirts for the price of one! :D

you could take a 3xxl T shirt and cut it up, sew it back together into 3M Tshirts if you are skilled with a sewing machine/needle&thread.
That would be interesting. in fact, I may do that myself.

I'm upset that these plus sizes exist at all. If hammy doesn't like the way it "fits" more often than not it'll toss it away, or "send it back" where who knows what actually happens to that garment?
