The World's Largest Bra is out of a man's greatest fantasy. Well, maybe not the bra itself but what could potentially be supported in it. Unfortunately, the giant woman that would fit into this gargantuan undergarment only exists in fairy tales. Nevertheless, the World's Largest Bra was created for something better than breasts. It was created for a good cause.
Currently up for auction on eBay, the World's Largest Bra is set to raise funds for the United Kingdom Breast Cancer Action’s ‘Wear it Pink’ campaign. Weighing nearly 165 pounds, it was going to recycled into sailcloth until someone stepped up with the genius idea of putting it on the shopping website. The current bid is at £2,101.00 (about $3,375). Its fluorescent pink spinnaker nylon fabric makes quite the bold statement.
