Plain white non underwired bras

15 year old dd is VERY fussy about her bras and is still very shy about the whole thing. She needs good support, she is around a size 30F, but that's a guess.

At the moment she's squeezing herself into her old DD bras which I can tell from the size of the cup must be too small.

She won't wear underwired (I've tried) and they must be white and very plain. A sports bra may fit the bill but are they ok to wear every day, they seem a bit bulky...?

Any suggestions please?

Actually flesh coloured is ok too.

Take her to Victoria's Secret, I was a 30C by the time i was 12 and loved bras, in Victoria's Secret there are some stunning bras, like plain white ones with good support, or bralettes just look on the site there's loads, although I wouldn't recommend buying online if you live in the U.K. As postage is really expensive.

I was against underwired for DD but couldn't get any without in her size. I picked up some underwired from M&S Angel range and the wire is really soft and pliable, it's actually plastic, not even wire! I'd suggest buying some and seeing what your dd thinks....

Since breastfeeding, I can't wear under wired at all so I get plain white or black tshirt bras from M & S or John Lewis.
They're not ones that are hanging as single bras but the ones in packs.
They're really good value and wash really well.

As dancemom says the Angel range is very good. My DD11 isn't keen on underwires and I think she's too young but they do a 'bralet' which is a soft non wired bra, cotton rich. They are £10 for a pack of two, not sure how big they go to though.

M&S Angel doesn't come in a big enough cup size unfortunately, the biggest is DD.

verbana do you know what cup size yours go up to?

I actually meant to post this in S&B, Dd is obviously not a preteen any more!

John Lewis here (but obviously ignore the nursing bras that came up on the filter), there are a few white options.

Debenhams has a good selection of bras. Maybe try the maternity range for larger cup sizes with no underwire?
