Dd1 is 14 and has always been quite shy about her body. Bought her first bras aged 11 or so, she wanted to start wearing them. She didn't want to be measured by shop staff so I measured her at home, took her to M & S and I took her in a few sizes to try. Can't remember what size that was then.
She has gradually grown more and more shy about the whole issue and completely ignores gentle suggestions by me that she might need a bigger size.
The last time she actually tried some on in a shop was at least 18 months ago, I think we bought 30D. A few months ago I noticed she had grown quite a bit and looking at the cup sizes of her bras I could see there's no way they would fit her. So I discretely bought her some 30DDs and left them in her room and said she could try them at her leisure.
I think she has been wearing a mixture of the old and new ones but I'm not convinced she's in the right size and getting proper support.
I don't want to press her too much as it's obviously awkward at the moment. What should I do? Ideally she needs to go to somewhere like Bravissimo and get some well fitting bras, I've been there before myself and know they're sensitive. But should I bring it up with her? Or do they eventually outgrow the awkward stage?
