When to buy her first bra???

[Trillian]

My 10yo DD has been wearing the bonds crop tops for a while. She doesn't need an actual bra at this point, but just something to give her a bit of cover and stop the chaffing from her shirts. They are pretty sensitive and get sore. She was just wearing singlets, some with a shelf thing and others didn't but it just got too hot towards the end of the last year for her to wear them

My DD was just shy of 12 when I took her in for a bra fitting. Before that she wore crop tops. You will know when she's ready to move on from a crop top to a bra.

Thanks everyone. I bought her some crop tops last year to stop chafing. I may suggest (gently) that she might like to wear them more often.

At the moment her nipples (inc areola) are more prominent than actual breast tissue. It is noticeable when wearing a t-shirt. I guess a training bra may be on the cards before year's end.

I can remember being mortified being taken to Myer to be fitted for my first bra. It was an issue for family discussion too I can remember someone saying "they are not pimples on a pumpkin anymore" I will definitely be more discreet and sensitive.
