I’m trying to find 26 or 26C and drawing a complete blank so far - any suggestions of places that stock them?

I dont think 26 back bras exist
You'd be better trying a sister size which would be 28B for a 26C (if you go up a back size you go down in the cup - gives same cup volume on different back sizes)
Or she could try a bralette style instead

Couldn't even find any 28's at Bluewater.
Had to look online.

Next online have 28b in non wired slightly padded t shirt bras.

Interested in this thread?

Thanks, we have those Next ones but she thinks they are getting small unfortunately. It’s frustrating, a 28 back does look a tiny bit big, but the age-sized crop tops don’t provide anywhere near the right support. I’d like to try a 28c at least but they are proving elusive!

Probably need to buy online
Brastop is usually quite good for smaller back sizes

dementedpixie · 24/02/2024 11:36

Although brastop might be for a larger cup

I think Boux Avenue do 28 back size.

dementedpixie · 24/02/2024 11:38

Bouxavenue does smaller sizes I think

M&S do 28 backs in their teenage range. The one my DD tried on was really tiny (her back is 27" and she couldn't get it to fasten) so you might be lucky.

John Lewis sell one 28C bra, and the Calvin Klein crop tops in the crossed strap style come up tight on the chest band and also work for this size. These ones:

Not exactly what you want but I can only get what dd1 wants which is like a t shirt crop top type thing in matalan. Who have loads. And it's cheap

TheHorneSection · 24/02/2024 13:19

Annoyingly Matalan don’t appear to have much online, and while Boux Alley has some they are £20+ for each bra and as much as I’d love to be able to afford £100 or more for bras DD might grow out of soon, I can’t.

I’ll try some of the M&S 28 backs and see if they fit.

Thanks for the tips.

Sainsbury's is where I've bought my daughters recently, they had from a 26aa in ours.

theonewiththedog · 24/02/2024 13:27

And they're 2 for £6.50

GoldenTobes · 24/02/2024 15:32

Would definitely try the angel range from M&S. when my daughter used these they seemed a bit smaller than the normal range sizing.
