    Wonderbra re-launches bra which gives cleavage an instant boost

    With the rise in popularity of curvy stars such as Christina Hendricks and the cast of the Only Way is Essex bigger busts have become increasingly fashionable.

    Now women can have a helping hand to achieve a boosted cleavage.

    Wonderbra has reissued its best-selling bra from 2000, the Variable Cleavage bra, for a limited time.

    The bra’s design allows you to have as much or as little cleavage as you want by pulling downwards on the cord between the two cups. Doing this creates a 'push-up' effect which enhances your chest.

    For a more modest daytime look you can loosen the cord and wear it as a normal bra.

    The bra costs £32 and is available in sizes 32A to 38DD from the Wonderbra website. The matching “shortie” briefs cost £13.50.
