When they grow a pair. It varies!

My DSD wears a crop top type thing, she's 10.

One of mine was in D-cups at 12, one is almost totally flat-chested and is in crop tops.

Dd1 wore a bra in year 5 even though she had very little to put in it, it was more because all the girls in her class were wearing them.It was a funny year group full of kids trying to be teens I think. Dd2 has just started wearing a bra in year 8 because she needs to whereas many of her friends are still wearing crop tops. I'd say if she asks then she should have one whether that's down to peer pressure or a real need for support.

I think my DD was just 12. She's 13 now and on to her 2nd set. It's quite obvious when they grow out of the crop tops ie, when they get proper boobs as opposed to buds!! She is a 30C. I think all her friends are in bras now.

Dd is just 12 she is in crop tops but I think she should wear a bra but she isn't that keen, as no else in her class wears one. I don't want to make a big thing about it but every time we start discussing it she gets really embarrassed. I am just hoping that someone else in her class starts wearing one before they are 16

All of my dd's friends wear bras and most of them already started period too. All of them are taller than my dd. So she feels a bit left out sometimes.

Dd started wearing a proper bra at age 11. She has also started her periods

ripeningapples · 26/09/2015 08:19

You can tell your dd that she will catch up. I remember being the little one at secondary school. Started periods late at 14.5 and then all of a sudden at the beginning of 5th form realised I was taller than some of the tall girls. I remember feeling the odd one out just like your daughter so understand how she feels.

Proper bra, just before 13th birthday. Year later still not yet met AF.

Walkingonsunshine00 · 26/09/2015 11:05

11, but she probably didn't need one until 12 1/2

Kim82 · 26/09/2015 11:06

Dd1 started needing one at age 10.5.

Hulababy · 26/09/2015 11:09

By year 5 iirr. I got her a bra when she needed one. She started puberty somewhat before that and started periods in y6. But it varies hugely between girls.

hugoagogo · 26/09/2015 11:16

dd is 13 and still in crop tops, she certainly isn't the only one in her year, but some of her friends have proper boobs.

squidgyapple · 26/09/2015 13:47

aged 11.5 . She wanted one for starting yr 7 - didn't really need it, but she was desperate to have one.

I think it was worth it if only to alleviated the stress of starting secondary.

"When they grow a pair"

Or when peer pressure becomes uncomfortable for the girl concerned.

DD started wearing one in year 8, so she would have been 12. She didn't need one, but was the only one in her class not wearing one. She started her periods at 13 1/2. She is 15 and still very petite, and wishes she had a few more curves. Sadly she has inherited my lack of curves (I am a 32B)

Emochild · 28/09/2015 08:41

Dd1 was just 10 -at 13 she's a 28E don't know where she gets them from, certainly not me

Dd2 is just 12 and still in crop tops

They are all different

bigTillyMint · 03/10/2015 14:19

My DD needed one at 10 1/2. Despite being a petite build, she grew early and quickly! She started her periods aged 11.

A friend who tall and is nearly a year older was pretty flat-chested till 15 and didn't start her periods till then. They are all different!
