At an LA gig on Wednesday night, there was an apparent mix-up with the pricing of some of the merch on sale. Fans of the former 1D star noticed smaller shirts and hoodies were cheaper than their larger counterparts. The company, Live Nation, said there had been a ‘mistake in size pricing’.

This obviously isn’t the first example of women having to pay more for bigger clothing. Things like bras and flippin’ pants for goodness sake can cost far more simply due to the size. While I’m sure no ill-will intended, it’s still weak when you then have to deal with the fact you may upset loyal fans, by forcing them to pay more for being bigger.

Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. It’s not a good image to preach the message ‘treat People with Kindness’ then charge more for bigger people, or even women with larger breasts to have a piece of merch. This probably won’t be the last time an issue like this crops up, but it’s good to keep note of them.

If you’re feeling less than confident today, I invite you to take a look here, and here.

Stay beautiful.
