Bras for 11 year old

This didn't get any replies in the preteens section so I'm hoping it will here.
DD is 11 and growing up quicker than I'd like but not much I can do! She wore crop tops for a while then moved onto some bralettes. She's never been measured and doesn't want to be. She's now wearing some sports bras but they're a 'small' size so not properly fitted. She seems happy with these but I have said to her that she can measure herself if she wants me to buy her anything different and explained to her how to do this ( we have tape at home). She is quite shy with talking about her body and hasn't measured herself, or if she has she hasn't told me. At the risk of asking a stupid question, should I just leave her as she is if she seems happy? I've seen lots of posters on here answering similar questions insisting that bras are overrated and girls don't really need to be measured. I suppose because I was measured in a shop and would get measured regularly when I was growing up that I feel like she should be doing the same. Just to add though that I've very much left her to decide what is best for her and not pressured her at all. Any advice is welcome!
