I would have thought manufacturers amoritize the cost across a product line. Any size outside of average probably costs more to produce since fewer items are sold and the same amount of work goes into producing patterns etc. for each size. <br /><br />BTW, Andrea, your sewing talents sound quite impressive. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />EdenBargainistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192938722206095554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-66142379844329233172009-05-10T17:30:00.000-04:002009-05-10T17:30:00.000-04:00Perhaps they did cave in too early.

Since being pregnant, I have come to accept that maternity clothes and bras are more not only because of the extra fabric but also because their clothing machines and patterns only make to a certain size (unfortunately) and bigger or smaller sizes need special machinery and/ot patterns.<br /><br />It does totally suck though.Michelle Tampoyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05326655361269558645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-53357272502467165682009-05-10T14:18:00.000-04:002009-05-10T14:18:00.000-04:00In this case, I think they did the right thing. I ...In this case, I think they did the right thing. I fail to see how larger sizes *in bras* make up that much of a difference in material costs.<br /><br />Pants, tops, those I know full well how going up a couple sizes can take up more fabric. The width of most fabrics, even for manufacturers, can only fit in so much and sometimes an item and inch wider has to be moved a good six inches to fit. Way more waste that way too.<br /><br />But not so much for bras.<br /><br />(*disclaimer: I've actually made my own clothes and undergarments.)Andrea Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555940591810773230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-12931728802688393102009-05-10T14:03:00.000-04:002009-05-10T14:03:00.000-04:00It's not unheard of for prices to be increased for...It's not unheard of for prices to be increased for larger sizes.<br />I get that the material costs are higher, and so generally I don't balk at it. <br /><br />However, if they are offering things like free shipping or other price incentives to buy, this is more than a little annoying.lexhttp://www.alexaclark.comnoreply@blogger.com
