Example #2 "For one, it uses less fabric to make clothing for skinny people than it does for a larger framed person, so it would cost less to make the garment."
As I said, something I read.
Besides which, you don't think that people who charge a lot for their products still don't try to save money? You're sounding like a Liberal now! "They're rich, they don't care what it costs."
Not true. People with means don't get rich by throwing away their money. They're more cautious than those with less.
Trust me. I used to be a waitress and I'd rather wait on a table of dirty construction workers than a table of clean suits any day.
Heh....ok, I quit. I leave you to the theory that models are skinny because fashion designers are trying to save money on fabrics.
