Primark do a selection of tiny bras (like 28AA) with cartoonish designs, which are very popular among DDs (age 12) friends. She has a couple from M&S - a pink one and a spotty one, which is what she wanted. They don't have much below a 32AA though.

thank you. but as her polo shirts are white i think she wants plain ones.

also remind me of how to measure her? i go to bravissimo to get fitted so havent seen a tape measure in years.

M&S - they do sports bras and trainer bras that are non-padded in white. Perfect for a 10/11 yr old under a polo shirt. They come in A, AA, B, IIRC.

I think you have to measure under the boobies and then straight across and it's something to do with the difference in cm. I just guessed Blush But I might try to get her measured up this time as she is getting bigger.

Agree with the M & S range. My dd (also 11) has been wearing them for a couple of months under school shirts and they're comfortable and wash well.

Next also do nice plain pre-teen bras.

Been at M&S a while now with my 12 year old DD. They give good advice in their measuring service about how bra should fit - and we needed it shes already a 30D. Avoid underwired

asda had quite a few of those little crop tops the other day....like little short vests iykwim....not a bra by any means, but fine if she just wants to cover up rather than needing one to put boobs in.

How about getting her fitted in John Lewis (if you're near to one)? They do a range of plain first bras and they have a good fitting service.
