What's the world's largest commercially available bra size?
You once wrote about the largest commercially available bra size. [The largest that could be found on store shelves was 48DD, while the largest found in a catalog was 52E.] If you were correct then, you need to update the answer now. I wear a 48H. It is off the rack and not the largest size that was available at the shop — that was a 52I, if I recall. The last Sears catalog I saw had a 52G, and I once bought a 46II from them. When I first bought bras the largest I could find was an F cup, but that was back when I was a 36F so I did not mind.
First we need to deal with the philosophical issues. What, really, do we mean when we say "size"? For that matter, what about "largest," "commercially available," and "the"? When we speak of the largest size, are we strictly concerned, as Aquinas says, with "the measurement across the fullest part of the bust"? Or are we just talking about really big hooters, and damn the total circumference?And what about the bra-sizing code? Many of today's youth — for that matter, many of yesterday's youth — are confused about this. Having gotten the idea that 36-24-36 was good, they figured a 52E must be really, really good. Au contraire. Not to make light of the situation (I wish), but if you're hanging out with a woman who wears this size, you're probably going to need to get the furniture reinforced.
Seems to me a custom size counts as "commercially available," but clearly what was meant here was "on an off-the-shelf basis." The biggest noncustom size Doug turned up was 54LL, but in trying to figure out what this meant in terms of, you know, bushels, we encountered another problem — above DD there's no such thing as standardized measurement. Some establishments go up by pairs, as in D, DD, E, EE, F, FF, and so on, while others, perhaps wishing to leave room for future expansion, go up in triples, D, DD, DDD, E, EE, EEE, etc. The 54LL shop uses the pair method, so presumably a double-L cup size exceeds the band size by 21 inches. (You're thinking, how does a woman like that stand upright? Answer: with difficulty. Many large-breasted women endure chronic back pain.) Even the 21 inches isn't certain. We're told some sizing charts skip K, and some shops use measuring systems all their own. One store told Doug, "A traditional, correctly fitting, store-sized bra cup, size D, would be equivalent to our G cup. So a DD would be equivalent to an H, and a DDD would be equivalent to an I."
Well, I don't know about commercially available. But 54LL is not the max.....more at link above
Are the really large sizes sold with a discount coupon for a chiropractor?

The ones purchased by franks example, should come with a book entitled "How to make a sammich".CMD
