World's Biggest Bra Unveiled for Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign
The ITV building on London's Southbank regularly plays host to eye-catching events, but few will surely have matched the recent scene which saw a giant pink bra unveiled on the side of the UK TV station's home.

Measuring 26.72 m (87 ft 7.97 in) on the underbust and with a bust measurement of 29.6 m (97 ft 1.35 in), the record-breaking item of underwear took four weeks to make, with abseilers working for three days to install the bra on the building.
The attempt, which was organised by brand Vanish, was timed to coincide with the Breast Cancer Campaign's Wear it Pink Day with the bra being unveiled during ITV's daytime TV show This Morning.
Made from lightweight spinnaker nylon, it was made from 375 square metres of fabric weighing 75 kilos, with the bra's metal fasteners giving the garment a total weight of 90 kilos.
Speaking after the successful attempt, Stefan Gaa, marketing director of Vanish said:
"The Vanish and Breast Cancer Campaign record breaking bra is a fitting focal point for this year's fundraising activities."
"This is an issue that affects so many women and their families and Campaign are doing a vital job in raising funds for research and keeping breast cancer high profile.
'Wear it Pink' raised £2.5m for breast cancer last year by getting thousands of people to wear a pink item of clothing and donate £2 to the charity.
Welcome to the World’s Largest Bra
This once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of world record breaking history is now over. Yes, one full year after Chillisauce created and displayed the world’s largest bra along the Thames, we decided to put that eye popping piece of underwear up for auction on EBay with all the proceeds going to Breast Cancer Campaign.
After a 10 day charity auction the World Record Bra complete with its Guinness World Record Certificate, making it officially the world’s largest bra, sold for £3601 to GoldenPalace.com.
The 30 metre fluorescent pink bra is joining a glittering stable of purchases from a company that seeks out the weird and wonderful from around the world. A lock of Justin Bieber’s hair, The Infamous Pope-Mobile previously owned by Pope Benedict XVI and William Shatner’s kidney stone are just some of the items bought by the new owners of the bra as they continue its mission to own all those things you thought money couldn’t buy.
Adrian Simpson, a Director at Chillisauce said ‘we’re just really happy that so much money has been raised for BCC and the fact that it’s going to a very interesting new home is a fantastic bonus for all of us who have been involved in the project for the last year.’
As yet the new owner’s intentions are unclear. However what started life as the World’s Largest Bra could easily become a giant hammock, a catapult for firing yourself over the neighbour’s fence, a pop-up bra type building, the easiest tent to find at ‘Glasters’ or just the ultimate way to add character to a outside of a modern property.
