LA woman claims there’s a ‘fat tax’ at Target after discovering higher prices for larger sizes.

I'm a big dude and can understan the need for more material more cost to make. But also as someone familiar with the cost of materials in fast fashion, the material and mass difference is literally insignificant to the cost if the overall product. 

Stop shopping at Target.

Baby/toddler clothes can be just as expensive as adult clothes. Baby socks should be like 10cents then right?.. and panties should be $1-$3 instead of $8-$20

More cloth is needed for bigger sizes.

People here talking about more material = more money but will pay more for holes in their jeans and small lil tank tops.

The amount of fabric used from Xs to a XL is so negligible- crazy how people ride this hard for the big corporations…

Wow. Vast majority of these comments so far are very disappointing.

There’s no price difference between XS and XL, but the sizes above XL cost more. That’s the issue. That makes no sense.

Blah blah “more material” blah blah. That still doesn’t make the pricing structure make sense. And keep in mind, that Target doesn’t exactly sell high-quality stuff either. So it’s not about cost to manufacture.

Shitty cheap clothes made of polyester shouldn't cost more for bigger sizes, it's made of plastic and not meant to last. I get more material is used, but that extra material probably costs 2 cents.

Isn't it about most runs of clothing being from around XS - XXL and anything above that being niche sizes? So those sizes aren't produced in as much demand and therefore cost more?

Guys this isn't an issue of material differences, it's a difference of production batches. As an example I like wearing khakis, most companies don't make them in my size, and if they do they are more expensive, because they don't make many of them. If you don't make them en masse there going to be higher overhead costs per unit.

If they charged per square inch of fabric, XXS clothes would cost less than medium and medium tall would cost less than XL.
