The plus-sized dress is cheaper. Economies of scale hard at work.

I don't understand. Shouldn't it be more expensive? There is more material. Or is it just that the majority of Americans are fat so to offset lower sales of small dresses they must be more expensive to be viable? If that is the truth, WTF?

Yes we finance the fatties sadly.

It's most likely because they produce far more circus-tent-size dresses than human-size ones. Thus, they can order more at a time for larger discounts, and the factory workers will be more experienced making bigger dresses, etc. The whole supply chain is geared better for making bigger dresses because they move more of them.

Fat privilege: cheaper clothes because they're made in bulk for bulk sizes.

Well, necrosis isn't necessarily obesity-related. I think 'Diabeteic Necrosis Black,' or 'Beetus-rot Black,' for short (and for the alliteration) might be more appropriate.

I remember this. There was a mini-uproar because the plus sized said "Manatee".

But no uproar that it was cheaper despite being the same dress, but using more materials.

This can't be accidental.

If I remember it right, Target apologized for it and explained that is just a normal color name and happened accidentally that the two products had different color names. I believe they stopped (temporary?) using manatee gray as a color even if it is the correct color name.

How the hell is it cheaper for a bigger dress?

The same way that dress shirts for healthy people are 2x the price.

I'm assuming the cost difference is because, even though they use more fabric for larger sizes, they don't need to really worry about tailoring the clothing. Either way, it's going to look like a tarp.

XXL (in the top image) is not considered plus-size?

Is that a dress or window curtains?
