Liverpool girls are cup winners with average bra size of 34E... but A-cup Birmingham falls flat

Women from Liverpool have the largest average breast size, a survey revealed today.
The research, by department store chain Debenhams found that the average bra size in the North West city was 34E, while Newcastle came a close second with an average bust size of 34DD.
By contrast, women from Birmingham were found to have the smallest chests, at an average 34A, while women from Southampton had an average bra size of 34B.
The study showed that back size did not vary to the same degree as cup size. A 34-inch back was the overall average, with an average measurement of 36 in Manchester, Leeds and Blackpool.
Glasgow had the smallest average back size at 32D.
The varying sizes were blamed on regional differences in weight, age, the popularity of plastic surgery, incidence of pregnancy and women taking the contraceptive pill.
Debenhams spokeswoman Annette Warburton said: 'Size does matter.
'Most women still believe they are 34B and it's not until they hand their figures to our fitters that they discover a boost to their bust and to their confidence.'
The store, which records bra sizes of 250,000 women a year for its annual Bra Index, says that the average bust size is getting larger.
