New Look has been accused of imposing a “fat tax” on its plus-size range after a customer found an apparently identical product that was 15 per cent cheaper.
According to The Telegraph, a pair of green striped trousers were found to be £22.99 in New Look’s Curves range, compared to £19.99 in its standard collection.
Meanwhile, a size 18 striped Curves T-shirt that cost £12.99 was offered at a 30 per cent discount of £9.99 in the standard range.
A New Look spokesman said: “To ensure pricing differences like these don’t happen in future, we are in the process of reviewing the pricing structure of our plus-size collection in a way which works best for our customers and our business.”

We deal with a brand who charges extra for XXL & XXXL sizes but my argument is then why aren’t XXS & XS cheaper?
It’s be same in H&M – the exact same tshirt is £3.99 in sizes up to 18 & £8.99 from their curve range
