Today went on to do their own research and the results are disappointing.

This burgundy flared sleeve wrap front top retails for $24, while the identical blouse in the “Curves” category has a list price of $26. Even though this is a very small difference, why is there even a price difference to start with?
We would like to know from you, do you think this is fair practice or not?
