意思
Asking if a larger size of an item is available.
文化背景
In Korean department stores, clerks often use 'Gogaek-nim' (Customer-nim) and very formal language. You should respond with '-yo' to remain polite. In traditional markets, the atmosphere is more casual. You might hear 'Eonni' (Older sister) or 'Imo' (Auntie) used as titles. Using '좀' is still important to show respect to the elders. When asking questions on Q&A boards, people use very formal written Korean. Instead of '있어요?', they use '문의드립니다' (I am inquiring). Korean 'Free Size' usually fits a US Small or Medium. If you are used to Western sizes, you will find yourself using '좀 더 큰 거 있어요?' very frequently.
Use your hands
When saying '좀 더 큰 거', use your hands to indicate a larger size. It helps the clerk understand even if your pronunciation isn't perfect.
Sizing differences
Remember that Korean sizes are often smaller. Don't be offended if you need an XL when you usually wear a Medium.

Add '혹시'

The power of '좀'
Never forget '좀'. Without it, the phrase can sound like a demand rather than a request.
