Picture Ref: 77709-45SWINDON'S own lingerie experts are looking for the best breasts in town for an exotic modelling contract.

Yesterday Triumph International was running what for many people would be the world's best job auditioning large breasts whose owners will test out bras.

The company needs some big boobs because its new range of bras are being designed in Hong Kong, where ladies tend to be smaller.

So it opened its doors yesterday to see if any Swindon girls could fill that role. The two lucky ladies will be given a year's contract at first, which will involve being flown out to Hong Kong at least six times.

Triumph has promised that its models will live in expenses-paid luxury hotels in the Far East, while its technicians and designers make sure the new range of bras fit as well as possible.

UK managing director David Hornbuckle said: "Although we'll be designing and making these bras in Hong Kong they are for the European market.

"Fifty per cent of our sales are in a D cup or above. We need some large cup models but local girls are just too small.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to experience the wonderful Hong Kong way of life while supporting the bigger busted."

It is not catwalk modelling but testing out prototypes of new big cup ranges. Overall 50 women from 18 to 30 recruited via an advert in the Advertiser asking for D cups and above were given the once-over yesterday at the headquarters in Arkwright Road on the Groundwell industrial estate.

They were first fitted to make sure they were wearing the right size bra, and then inspected.

If no suitable breasts can be found in Swindon, the recruitment campaign will go nationwide.

At the moment the new range does not have a name, but is likely to include bras that can be worn easily under T-shirts.

Triumph spokeswoman Sue Loder said: "It was a great day, and it showed that larger-busted ladies are enthusiastic about underwear. Even if they have not made the grade for Hong Kong they will still be asked about whether they would like to model for us in-house.

"A lot of girls thought it was a glamorous sounding job, and a lot were people who had been made redundant recently, and saw it could be a great opportunity to travel.

"We did have quite a few glamorous people. There are a couple who are definitely in the frame, but no decisions have been made yet."

The Triumph experts examine flesh tone, cleavage, proportion and how high the breasts sit.

Implants were not wanted, however, because they make the breast too hard.
