From the manufacturing side the difference in weight and material, to a certain point isn't an issue. That's why human sizes are all pretty much the same price. The big difference comes in when a particular piece of clothing wont fit on a standard sized bolt of cloth. Bulk cloth is generally sold in bolts, which are mostly 45 or 60 inches in width. As long as a particular piece of clothing can be cut from a standard size bolt of cloth, wastage is minimal. The reason fatties clothes cost more, and waste more, is that they generally need to be cut from NON-standard bolts, which cost a lot more to buy, and leave much bigger pieces of wasted material. That's where you should really focus on the waste.

It would be interesting to see what a person could make out of the leftovers, like a car port cover or a new sail for a boat. Maybe 200 doggie beds.
