Ways to get it wrong
Using 'grande' for 'larger size'
'Grande' means big, but for clothing sizes, 'talla' (size) is the correct word to use.
Confusing 'tener' and 'haber'
While 'haber' is used for 'there is/are', 'tener' is used for possession, so 'tiene' (you have) is correct here.
A small cultural note
In many Spanish-speaking countries, stores might not have a vast range of sizes readily available, so be prepared for them to check the stockroom.
