You Pay For What You Get!

VERSUS

Let the hate mail flow, but buckle your seatbelts because we’re doing this anyway. We recently reported on the woman who is boycotting Old Navy for charging her more shipping for a plus-sized clothing order. Well, I actually tip my hat to Old Navy for that. So many corners are cut these days in the retail world that just inflate the cost of clothes for everyone. I feel like this woman deserves to pay more because obviously her clothes are going to weigh more if they are significantly larger. She may call it profiling, but I call it fairness.

If Old Navy were to charge one standard shipping cost for all items the extra cost would be tacked on to the regular cost of the clothing, thus making it more expensive for the rest of the customers. I have come up with a little plan of my own. Think of the last time you went to the fabric store. You pay by the amount of material you are using. I feel that the smaller the clothing article, the cheaper the cost. There is no reason why this couldn’t be put in place. Why should a size 0 waist have to inherit the cost of a size 22 waist? Do they get the extra material? This would also encourage weight loss and exercise. Don’t feel like paying $250 for your size 20 jeans? Lose weight so you you only have to pay $200 for a size 8. It’s simple and fair.

This also may help to cloth homeless people because they tend to be very skinny, and their jeans won’t be as expensive. Oh what a wonderful place the world would be. If anyone reading this is a designer or boutique owner, and you decide to use this mentality Fashion Indie wants to know about it!
