Bras for teen girls

Where can you get bras for girls who are past the 'first bra' stage but not ready for an underwired bra?

Dd is 13 and I THINK about a 30D. She could possibly go up another cup size but is very shy about being fitted. She's also fussy about colours, will only wear white or skin colour.

Where can I look? And when can they start wearing underwired bras as there seems to be much more choice?

Dd has some from m&s, next and BHS she much prefers the BHS ones and they seem to be washing better and lasting longer but the problem is getting plain white bras, its quite difficult but bothers me more than dd.

Just checked BHS and they don't seem to do a D cup in a 30 back size!

Bravissimo! They are amazing, and the fitters are lovely, and will know all about what to suggest for her :)

DD is 13 and has worn under wired bras for about 12 months. She's a 28DD and finding something that was pretty, gave her a nice shape and some support without wires was impossible. DD really likes Boux Avenue.

Pretty sure that M&S do 30D in their Angel range. Which seems to be what all of 13yo DD's friends have. Have you measured her carefully, definitely 29-31 underneath?

I get dd's from brastop - they start at 28D - she's worn bras with underwires from the as soon as she actually needed a bra. I order a few styles in her size & she picks what is most comfortable/fits best then we send the rest back.

Debenhams were good for measuring (they agreed with an independent shop we went to that measured but was out of stock of her size) and we did just get underwired in the end. They've been fine.

Bravissimo - dd wears cleo Juna & she is a 26E but wears a 28DD

KatyMac · 30/01/2015 20:07

Sorry I've noticed not underwired but DD says that is very comfy & wears sports bras the rest of the time

my dd has always worn underwired she measures a 30dd and she wears a 34d as she says the 32 is tight she gets most of her bras from primark lots of choice and pretty ones too and very cheap
