Even 20 years ago there were far fewer over weight people. Lifestyle and eathing habits have changed a lot over the years and there are far more over weight people than there used to be in this country. I have no idea what the ratio is but I would guess that there a are as many 2x and above as there are those who wear smaller sizes. The industry has had to change in a lot of ways. It did used to be that over weight people had to go to an entirely different section of the store of even a different store. Now being overweight is much more common and some people have actually learned to accept the fact of obesity. I won't go into the health factors here but at least over weight people can find clothing for prices much as everyone else pays. I see nothing to complain about.

I think you lost weight and gained a mean gene. What a horrible thing to complain about.

Because you were once heavy, you should know that a comment like this is always fat bashing. I used to be 120 pounds overweight and cringed when I read your post and many of the responses.
The bulk of the cost of clothing is labor, shipping, machines, design, and markup by retailers. Fabric is a much smaller cost factor.

This same price philosophy is one of the reasons I shop at QVC. I used to be an LL Bean and Eddie Bauer buyer. When I went into plus sizes I would get so aggravated at the extra $5.00 they charged. My size used the same amount of material as a men's XL. I just stopped shopping in those places. There are women's catalogs that do the same thing, a pox on them also.

On the opposite side, most sheet sets offered on QVC are the same price for twin or king and there's a huge difference in the amount of fabric used! Mostly we are paying for the labor involved, not so much the fabric

It's fine the way it is. All I can think about is all of the returns. Some woman would be trying to squeeze themselves into a smaller size due to it being less of a cost.
Let it go.
Congratulations on your weight loss.

I am not huge, but I think it's great that clothing is priced so fairly!
