The survey by Wonderbra for the National Cleavage Day found one in seven women wear plunging necklines at work to impress the boss or push for a pay rise. One in 10 tried to upstage the bride at a wedding with eye-popping cleavage while eight percent of them treated a traffic warden to an eyeful to dodge a ticket, the Sun reported.
