Well, awhile ago I realized my daughter needed a bra. We started off with a plain cloth bra, no padding or anything, and it worked out great just as a second layer or an undershirt. I have to say, it didn’t actually do much, except for providing a tiny bit of modesty.
When my daughter kept growing, I gave her a sports bra, which had a little bit more support, and also provided even more modesty.
A little while ago (year or less) I got her a formed bra. Not push up or anything like that, just lightly lined so that nothing would be *ahem* sticking out. We got it from Target in the girls section, and they come in smaller sizes. I think my daughter went straight into a 30AA.
In the last 4 or so months, she has grown out of the girls section, and into women’s bras. She thought she would be a B cup, but she quickly realized that the girl’s bras are smaller than the women’s bras, even if they are labeled as the same size. We were on the search for a good, cute bra that was also comfortable with support, but not sexy. A little while later, we tried GapBody. It was a miracle!!! There bras were functional and comfortable, without being ‘old lady-ish’. They were about $40 (US), which is not bad for a bra, but just a tiny but pricey if she’ll grow out of it in a month or so. But just because she’ll grow out of it, doesn’t mean you should sacrifice quality/comfort.
Our problem with the GapBody bra is it’s super comfy when it fits you perfectly, but kind of just irradiating in a way if it’s just a little too small.
So still on the look out for a perfect t-shirt bra. I plan to take my daughter with me to VS Pink to get her fitted properly, not just by her mother making an educated guess.
Recently, my daughter’s breasts have gotten bigger and more swollen due to the new concept to her of having her period, so she’s been complaining about them bouncing around a lot. So we were on the look out for an actual sports bra. The other day we were in Lululemon looking for some new leggings for her, when she was trying on some clothes, a found a whole bunch of sports bras, so I brought some in for her to try them on. The lady who helped me find some was very helpful, and obviously knew what she was talking about. I found that their bra sizes run on the small side, and the bra that worked best for her was a size 4 (she wears a 32a, but probably should be wearing a 32b or 34b). Sk far she LOVES it. She says it’s easy to take on and off, comfortable, cute, doesn’t squish your breasts but gives amazing support, and it’s breathable and cotton, meant for sports and everyday use. In other words she thinks it’s perfect for her, which is good.
Good luck on finding something for your daughter!! I will leave links below on what we got.
