Dd is 16 and I can't persuade her to wear proper fitting bras. She was fine getting first bras at 11 or so but as her bust has got bigger she's started to feel uncomfortable.
I'm guessing her size is around a 30DD/E or so which is bigger than she would like. So she really does need proper support.
Last year I managed to drag her into a Bravissimo (with help from a lovely MNer!) but she refused anything underwired and came out with a sports bra which has remained unworn.
She is currently wearing these:

They do the job of squashing everything down so she appears smaller. But I don't know how much actual support they provide and the material is thick and bulky so not good in hot weather or under strappy clothes.
I know it's important to have proper support and I have tried to talk to her sensitively about it but she won't discuss it.
And I know she wouldn't even consider bra shopping with friends either.
Any advice please?
