Journalist Ruth Addicott ventured into the world of cup size and cleavage after hearing endless tales of woe from women who can't find a bra that fits.

But she was told by the experts that she was a 34B or C, a 36AA, and a 32C, D or DD !

Ruth, who is editor of the Brighton Argus's Woman supplement, had thought she was a 32B - but says she still doesn't know her correct size.

The 32-year-old journalist says she was left "confused and frustrated" after being fitted for a bra at six different shops while researching for a feature in the paper.
