Need advice: not sure how to measure DD for her first training bra.

Just this really.
She's tiny (naturally very slender) and her chest measurement is 62cm (measured over a short sleeve vest). Her bust is approx 67ish cm.

She's not even a 28 back going by that. Am I doing something wrong/any fitting advice at all?

Where should I buy online from and also would delivery even be offered at this time - I want something quick as she's sprouted practically overnight and her current crop tops seem a bit redundant now.

Thanks in advance.

I can’t remember what the smallest size was but I took DD for a bra fitting and her chest measurement was too small.

So what did you end up doing for your DD?

Look up boob or bust method - my DD measured herself using it and then we worked out the size she needed. Peacocks has cheap AA cup bras, but once into a B the teenager range in M&S actually had a 28B which was really hard to find!

I tried it but it came up with a 'contact admin' for the bust size. Confused
I'll measure her again, just to be sure.

The calculator initially determined a band size below 28 inches, but these are not commonly available. Your ideal size would be: 24D

Righty Oh. Any ideas best place to buy?

I'm pretty sure you won't find a 24D. 28B is a sister size, and if you go for non-wired/bralette type, it might do the job.

Thanks! I've ordered what I could on Amazon in 28B - lets see what comes of that.

Off to look at that site now. Such a help. X
