In wake of the realisation that over half of their female customers wear a bra size DD or higher, high street retailer Debenhams decided to conduct a poll.

The shop asked 1,000 customers, both male and female — all of whom were shopping in their fuller-bust lingerie range, Gorgeous — which famous female they thought had the best cleavage.

‘If you’ve got it flaunt it, but reveal your assets appropriately,’ the Daily Mail quoted Sharon Webb, Head of Lingerie Buying and Design for Debenhams as saying.

At number 10, is burlesque model Dita von Teese.

Fashioning her look at the 1960s Hollywood, von Teese dons coiffed hair, corsets and a pale complexion.
