Best bras for dance shows now they are older!

Dd has been doing dance since she was 3, she absolutely loves it and the dance school is a lovely one with the focus on fun and enjoying themselves. When they do shows they are allowed to wear a bra to match their skin tone and a blind eye is turned if straps etc can be seen so long as they are comfortable on stage (it totally messes with my head as my dance teacher was very strict and we had to have no underwear whatsoever on under leotards etc on the stage).
Dd has now started competing and I am very aware that they are also awarded points on presentation. Her new costume arrived today and it is backless. She is 14 and doesn't feel comfortable going onstage with no bra. What do you suggest? Are stick on ones any good? Are there any brands of dance wear that specifically make underwear for the stage and if so which ones are good.
Thank you for any advice

There Re nude bras for under leotards for example www.capezio.uk/deep-neck-clear-back-bra comes in nude with clear straps. If you go to any decent dance shop you should be able to find undergarments. There are quite a lot of options online as well such as here www.dancedirect.com/dancewear/dance-underwear/dance-bras

Thank you so much I will have a look. We live in the middle of nowhere so have to rely on online shopping for most dancewear except pointe shoes but we go to London for those!

No problem. We have used Capezio when she had earlier shows. I'm just ordering some new items from here www.silkydance.com/all-dance-underwear ready for her next couple of shows. I've never used them before but I'm hoping the full padded under leotard will be good for her as she's rather large busted now she's 17 and could do with more support.
