Where do you find suitable BIG bras for teens?

[DD0314]

DD is 14 and an E cup. I can only find sexy looking bras in big sizes. Have tried supermarket and Marks & Spencer t-shirt bras but they don't give her much support. The rest are sexy or just plain ugly to a teenager. Anyone have any shops, websites they can recommend?

[BarnsligRav]

E Cup isn't necessarily "big" - what's the back size?

[Butterandsugar]

I quite like the Gorgeous range in Debenhams, Bravissimo which can be pricey and brastop.com is a great website that sells reduced priced sets.
I hate the m&s range, they really provide no support at all.

Clio by Panache and Freya are younger ranges.

[WhichJob]

Bravissimo is good and isn't sexy, or Figleaves which is online has a variety of styles.

[thecapitalsunited]

Curvy Kate do an everyday bra which is definitely not sexy.

Debenhams stock that range as well as load of other bra brands. You should be able to find something in there that would be suitable.

At that age I wore a DD and got all mine from La Senza. I don't really know what you mean by sexy/none sexy bras. Unless you stick her in a sports bra or nursing bra, everything could be deemed as "sexy". It isn't like she's going to be showing her underwear to all and sundry. Bras are mostly lacy. That's just the way they are. T-shirt bras are about as plain as they come, but they are usually padded and she might not want the extra sizing they give.

Same as Butter I like the Gorgeous range in Debenhams. I have 2 t-shirt bras that are really comfy and supportive.

An E cup isn't an unusual size, it's widely available in most shops (unless you're talking about Top Shop or New Look or somewhere, who only stock a very limited range of sizes). And if it's something like a 28 or 30E, it's actually a very small size.

Debenhams have a good range that might appeal to teenagers. Freya is good, but pricier.

[AnnieOH1]

Second debenhams and possibly asda depending on her band size. Xx

[DD0314]

Ok we all clearly have very different ideas of BIG. Most of my local shops only go up to a DD.
@deliabucket don't worry I'm not about to give her a nursing bra 😂No, she won't be showing it off but she still has to get changed in communal rooms at school/gym so she'd like to be in something that she feels comfortable with.
Thanks for the suggestions, will try them out

[AlexanderHamilton]

What is her back size?

[Redken24]

Cleo panache - bravissimo - next do an E cup I think? New look too. Even primark

[Wauden]

Bravissimo - if you go to a shop or use their on-line measuring tool you should get a good fit. Best to go to the shop. Fit is so important! They have plainer styles.

[PlayOnWurtz]

Debenhams do a good range of t-shirt bras

[cloudspotter]

Bravissimo are good for very odd sizes, and online you can get similar.

However, the high street do many E cup sizes, and depending on her back size, you could probably get something at Asda quite cheaply.

[coldflange]

Most supermarkets don't do above a D unless you are in the larger back sizes too.

I"m a 32E - and can't find anything in Sainsburys. I tend to buy from Debenhams - they have some nice every day bras - not too sexy - but certainly not 'mumsy'.

[dementedpixie]

A cup size is meaningless without a back size. What is her back size?

[thebigbluedustbin]

I don't really know what you mean by sexy/none sexy bras

There's definitely a difference. I wore a 32G at that age and it was really embarrassing (to me) to be wearing a sexy frilly bra when I had to get changed in front of my school friends. The comments aren't nice. If she's someone who doesn't like drawing attention to herself, a plain white or tan bra that isn't lacy is what she will be looking for.

Even now I wear plain bras. Have a look at the Bravissimo 'Ardour', 'Satine', and 'Porcelain' in their T Shirt bra selection. She might like those.

[NameChange30]

Take her to Bravissimo for a proper fitting. Then when she is sure of her size you can order more online.

Before getting pregnant, I was a 34F/FF and used to live in Freya Deco bras (which I got from Bravissimo and online shops). They're t-shirt bras, supportive, lightly padded but not too much, not sexy but not ugly either. They are usually available in nice colours too.
