A common problem that many plus-size shoppers encounter is the disparity between prices on an item in different sizes. You may see a dress you like in a smaller size and at a certain price point but when you look for that same dress in a larger size you find that it is up to fifty dollars more!
In this story by the Budget Fashionista, you are shown how Bloomingdale's inflates prices on plus-size clothing. I suggest, as does the Budget Fashionista, that you price compare several stores before making that final purchase.
Amazing as it may seem, higher end stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus are charging less for plus-size items than Bloomingdale's.
I would like to mention that Bloomingdale's is in the process of renovating it's Manhattan store and could possibly be expanding it's plus-size selection. This could also mean that they may be revising their prices.
With the new interest in plus-size fashion in the media, we can imagine that more and more retailers will be catering more to the curvy shopper.
