DSD 10 is a 26D bra size

[MsIngaFewmarbles]

I know they don't exist anywhere and have been recommended to try for a 28C instead. We went to M&S but there were only 2 available and one was an underwire which her Mum wasn't keen on.

Any thoughts?

Bravissimo! Or debenhams. Or john lewis. Never m and s is the mumsnet mantra!

Bravissimo 100%. I can understand the reluctance for an undermine but at a d cup she might struggle to find without

[MsIngaFewmarbles]

Do bravissimo do that small? I'll have a look online thanks.

[MsIngaFewmarbles]

It's amazing, she is still a twig of a little girl but with full on proper boobs!

[MsIngaFewmarbles]

Bravissimo only do from a D cup and from 28 back so no good :(

You'll probably find a small 28 back is fine. Bravissimo is your friend. Dd has been a bravissimo girl from the same age and size. Go and see them rather than ordering on line . If you must go on line I suggest panache tango 2 balconette ( the plunge is pretty plungy) tbh it's the best fitting bra dd ever had - she's had a succession of sizes and occasional other styles but always come back to that one.

I went shopping for DD today and there were few places with a 28 band. I didn't see a 26 band anywhere.

Debenhams, M&S, House of Fraser has some, but not many 28s.

Never ever take her to m&s! Not only will you get a bad fitting but stupid thoughtless comments like " you shouldn't be in under wires at your age " ...." You can possibly be a 28dd..... Oh you are.... Try these 30Cs instead as we haven't got the right size"

Fortunately dd is a tough cookie but she could have been really crushed by them.

I got DD some from M&S today. They didnt even ask if she wanted fitting - I just went into the changing rooms with a couple we wanted to try. They didn't question anything we took in with us, nor any comments either way.

I think generally so long as you are happy to decline their fitting service they will leave you to it.

We tried a few places today and the bras we chose were from M&S as DD liked them best, they had the size we needed and they fit well.

Could you take a 28 inch in a little bit? I can see why you wouldn't like underwired... I don't even like putting DSD (also 10) in a slightly padded bralet her mum had got before she moved to us. So I got her some crop tops, though she's less than an a cup, though you can see little peaks. But wow... I can really see what a problem your having are there websites where you can get bespoke bras?

[MsIngaFewmarbles]

We tried the 28" back at M&S today and it seemed ok. She says why she tried on wasn't comfortable under the bust, not tight around just not nice. I would never let a fitter near her in there :) It did seem to fit ok, she was filling the cup but not spilling over IYSWIM.

I don't see the problem with wire tbh, but we had a massive row with her DM last year about it. She doesn't wear wired bras and doesn't feel DSD should either.

The nearest Bravissimo store is an hour away, a bit of a trek if it turns out they don't have anything to fit her, maybe I'll call them.

[MsIngaFewmarbles]

DSD does like moulded cups though, she is very embarrassed by her nipples and likes bras that don't show them.

If you have a big debenhams, they will do them. Debenhams is excellent for bras.

Yay success in JL, beautiful fit :)
