- Story Text: A company specialising in outsize clothes has made a bid to enter the Guinness Book of Records by making what is believed to be the largest pair of overalls in the world.
The Israeli firm is used to running up outfits for the larger size but they don't really expect to find a customer big enough to fit this pair of overalls.
Made of denim and seven metres wide around the waist and one metre long, the outfit was displayed with a total of 11 large sized models inside.
"We are trying to make big people proud", said one of the models as she marched with her friends inside a huge trouser leg.
The overalls, presented in one of Tel-Aviv's shopping malls on Tuesday (August 11), were made of 50 metres (54.7 yards) of denim fabric, and decorated by large white buttons.
The eleven models danced and sang while pressed tightly together in an attempt to break the world record for the largest trousers.
