(not hating on my plus-size sistahs, so don't take it that way).
Another issue...I am not a seamstress so maybe I am wrong about this. However, my common sense (yes, I have a little of it) tells me that a size 8 skirt takes less material to make than a size 26 skirt. Why in the world do they cost the same amount of money? If an outfit take twice as much material to make shouldn't it cost twice as much?
Please not hate email. Just asking a very real question.

GiggyZ I totally feel you on your statement. I ALWAYS have trouble when I go shopping, because I am a very small woman (I am 5'5", and I wear a size 3-4)
From experience, the stores that ALWAYS tend to have the smaller sizes (at least in S. Florida) are The Limited and Lerner's.
I think that some stores don't charge more for larger sized clothing because they think people may cry foul about it. Just an opinion.
