12 year old first bra

[Don'tcallthepolice]

She's ready now I think.

What can anyone recommend regarding getting fitted and what make would you recommend.

She will of course be mortified so I won't tell her till we get there

Can’t you just buy some sweet little crop tops to start with? Ease her in gently

I did it myself tbh. But M&S would probably be the one I would head for. Their Angel bra’s are really comfy and affordable.

Thank you yes we've done those. Next stage now!

Don't go to M&S they measure in an Outdated way. Look up Boob or Bust and she can measure herself.

i would forward her then! Just say ooohhh that’s a little small, let’s go and see what else we can get!

I bought a few sizes of little angels ones from M&S and tried them on til they fitted properly

Not tell her til you get there?!? Do not ambush her like that!
When my daughter was fitted (she was 12, the lady assumed she would grow so advised one cup bigger and of course my daughter hasn't grown at all) she kept her crop top on while being measured and then tried on a few. But I of course told her and though self conscious was quietly thrilled at the prospect. However as she hadn't grown she has reverted to the more comfortable, slightly more supportive, crop tops.

We have a local mid sized independent department store which offer a bra fitting service. I couldn’t fault them, the assistant was excellent and they made the whole process very relaxed. We initially bought the Royce teen bras (2 for about £26), soft cotton which also proved excellent.

OP, all I can say is don't just tell her when you get there!

I'd go with the Littlemissprosecco's advice.

(I mean the "oh, that's a bit small for you, let's see what else we can find").
