Extra size clothes

[MrsMoore]

Does anyone know whether or not it is illegal to charge more if the size of dress is bigger? I was checking out a dress on the online site of a catalogue company and the size 14 was �33.95 whereas the size 20 was �53.95 is this not against the law?

It can't be against the law otherwise M&S would not have been able to charge more for larger bras ( the policy which was overturned this week)

i dont agree i mean if u get a hooker u pay an amount but if u go to a big hooker u pay less. wierd huh?

No, it isn't illegal. The retailers and manufacturers justify it because a larger dress uses more material; there are less made in a single large size (eg 20) than a single standard size (eg 12) so each unit costs more; a batch of larger dresses weigh more so transport costs are higher; they took up more room in storage....

Some retailers have used this practice for many, many years.

Why should it be against the law? I pay more for a 10 ounce steak than an 8 ounce steak.

No it's not!!!
Ethel has summed it up beautifully.
If you want to pay less for your dresses...... go on a diet!!!

yes but how come a size 8 is the same prize as a size 12 I feel cheated
