What age for an underwire bra

Dd is 12 and a 34B she's seen lots of pretty bras she likes but their underwired are they likely to cause her damage as she's still developing or is that just a random piece of rubbish I've heard?

You can sometimes find XS or XL sizes in TKMaxx.

obvious rubbish.

bodily development can be affected by extremely tight wrapping - go read about foot binding. Bras may be uncomfortable, but they aren't that bad.

no bra ever affected development. Or stopped sagging in later life.

Badly fitting wires can cause issues but it's not a tightness issue, it's a metal sitting on breast tissue issue. But it's only a problem if it doesn't fit. The same is true for pregnancy and nursing -wires are only a problem when they don't fit.

Managed to nip to m&s last night and she tried the 30d on perfect fit says she can't even feel she wearing it and it's underwire as well.
